Jannik Sinner has enjoyed considerable hard-court success since the beginning of 2024, but Fabrice Santoro believes he can also win the Wimbledon and French Open titles.
Before the 2024 Australian Open, the ATP world No. 1 had never reached a Grand Slam final. Since then, his transformation into the world’s best-ranked player has been incredible and awe-inspiring.
Sinner’s most impressive achievement during that time is undoubtedly winning the last three hard-court Grand Slam finals. The most recent of these was at the 2025 Australian Open, beating Alexander Zverev in the final.
He also won the 2024 ATP Finals, helped Italy secure back-to-back Davis Cup titles, and claimed three Masters 1000 crowns. Those titles were also on hard courts, showing how much the Italian dominated on the surface.
However, Sinner could not achieve the same success on clay and grass. Carlos Alcaraz beat him in the 2024 French Open semifinal and he lost to Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinal at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships.
Those results have not reduced Santoro’s faith in Sinner’s ability on those surfaces. During an interview with L’Equipe, the Frenchman reminded fans how close he came against Alcaraz at the French Open and against Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Monte Carlo Masters.
