Jannik Sinner has acknowledged mounting fatigue as the world No. 1 navigates the demanding stretch toward Roland-Garros. Tennis Majors reported that Sinner repeatedly surfaced the theme of tiredness across four press conferences at the Madrid Open, including after his quarter-final victory over Rafael Jodar, when he stated he was "starting to get a bit tired also."
The admission reflects the physical demands of the ATP spring calendar, which compresses multiple Masters 1000 events before the year's second Grand Slam. For Canadian viewers tracking the tour, Sinner's condition heading into Paris carries implications for the tournament's competitive shape, as fatigue can influence performance in best-of-five matches on clay.
Sinner's candour about his energy levels suggests active management of recovery and rest as he prepares for Roland-Garros. The second Grand Slam of the season is scheduled to begin in the coming weeks.
