Jannik Sinner is No. 1 in the rankings for the first time and already is looking ahead to Wimbledon
Associated PressPARIS — As pleased as Jannik Sinner was to make his debut at No. But in other ways, now new challenges are coming up.” The 22-year-old Sinner, who replaced the injured Novak Djokovic atop the ATP, is the first player from Italy to reach No. “In the beginning of the year, we said, ‘We are going hunting, and then we’ll see what we can catch.’ And this now is still the same,” Sinner said. Hopefully he can, somehow, play Wimbledon,” said Sinner, eliminated by Djokovic there each of the last two years, “because it would be a tough loss for Wimbledon not having him.” Iga Swiatek’s third consecutive championship at Roland Garros — her fourth in five years in Paris and fifth major overall — increased what already was a large lead as the WTA’s No. Gauff, last year’s U.S. Open champion, reached the French Open singles semifinals before losing to Swiatek and won her first Slam doubles title, teaming with Katerina Siniakova.
