Yearly summary
Early hard court season
Australian Open
Sinner began his 2026 season at the Australian Open, returning as the defending champion for the second time. He reached the semifinals for the third time in his career, losing to Novak Djokovic after holding a two-sets-to-one lead and failing to convert critical break points. [4]This was Sinner’s first loss to Djokovic since 2023 and the first time he hadn’t reached a major final since Wimbledon 2024.
Qatar Open
In a shock upset, Sinner lost to Jakub Menšík in three sets at the Quarterfinals of the Qatar Open.[5] Since 2024, this marked the second ever time Sinner has lost before the finals in consecutive tournaments, and the first time since 2023 he has lost to a player outside of the top 10 on hard-courts [6][7]
Sunshine Double
Indian Wells Open
With a straight sets victory against Alexander Zverev, Sinner reached the finals for the first time in his career.[2] Facing Daniil Medvedev in the final, Sinner came back from 0-4 down in the second set tiebreak by winning 7 points in succession.[8] He sealed his maiden Indian Wells victory and first title of the season, making him the first man in history to win consecutive Masters 1000 titles without conceding a set all tournament.[9] Sinner also became the third and youngest man after Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer to claim ‘Big Titles’ across all hardcourt tournaments. These include his wins across all six Masters 1000 hardcourt events, ATP Finals, Australian Open and US Open. He currently holds the second longest streak of consecutive sets won (22) at the 1000 level.[3]
