President of the Italian Tennis Federation, Angelo Binaghi, made controversial remarks about Carlos Alcaraz while praising world number one Jannik Sinner.
After losing to Jannik Sinner 6-4, 6-4 in the Rome Masters 1000 final on 17/5, Norwegian tennis player Casper Ruud admitted he faced a star of an entirely different caliber.
Jannik Sinner emerges as the top favorite for the Roland Garros 2026 title following withdrawals from Carlos Alcaraz and, most recently, clay-court specialist Lorenzo Musetti due to injuries.
