Jannik Sinner is quickly becoming the center of a big tennis debate. After his recent win over Carlos Alcaraz at the Monte Carlo Masters, former player Ion Țiriac made a bold claim.
He believes Sinner, not Alcaraz, has the best chance to break Roger Federer’s long-standing Wimbledon record. With Sinner now back at World No. 1 and crossing 13,000 ranking points, the conversation is getting serious.
Ion Țiriac backs Jannik Sinner over Carlos Alcaraz to challenge Roger Federer’s Wimbledon record
Ion Țiriac shared his thoughts during an appearance on Rai, an Italian radio station. He pointed directly at Sinner’s steady form and how he keeps performing well on all surfaces. That, according to him, is what makes the difference.Țiriac spoke clearly about Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles. He said Sinner has the game to go past that number, even with strong competition like Carlos Alcaraz around.He also talked about something even bigger, the calendar Grand Slam. No player has done it since Rod Laver. But Țiriac feels Sinner could reach that level if things go right.“Sinner is worth at least €100 million a year, more than double that of a footballer.
I think he has the potential to achieve the calendar Grand Slam. The last person to do it was Rod Laver fifty years ago, but it’s time someone did it again. Hopefully, it will be Jannik. He can easily surpass 20. What he needs is simply someone to help him plan his schedule. Which Grand Slam tournament can he win multiple times? In my opinion, Wimbledon.
He can aim to break Roger Federer’s record of eight titles,” he said. His point was simple, talent is there, but smart planning will decide how far Sinner goes.
Jannik Sinner explains Monte Carlo Masters win over Carlos Alcaraz and tricky match conditions
After beating Carlos Alcaraz 7-6(5), 6-3 in Monte Carlo, Jannik Sinner spoke honestly about how the match felt. He said it was not easy to play in those conditions.“It was a very strange match, because it was very windy. The conditions were not warm, which, you know, the ball is less bouncy that [makes it] a little bit easier to play tennis in general. We both were slightly tired, because, you know, at the end of the tournament it’s normal that you feel this way.
A lot of tension for both of us,” he said.Sinner explained that both players were feeling the pressure and physical strain. Still, he handled the key moments better, which helped him win in straight sets.He also made it clear that this is just the start. As the clay season continues, he expects his level to improve. He believes small changes and better decisions during matches will help him move forward. Right now, Sinner is not just winning matches, he is building a strong case as the next big name in tennis history.
