The world No. 2 has returned to the practice court in Dubai, training at the Mouratoglou Tennis Center alongside French No. 5 Alexandre Muller.
Sinner’s 2025 Season: Setbacks and Silverware
Despite missing three months of the season due to suspension, Sinner still enjoyed an outstanding 2025 campaign. He captured four major titles and pushed Carlos Alcaraz all the way in the race for the ATP throne, finishing just behind his rival but gaining momentum heading into 2026.
Sinner successfully defended his Australian Open title in January, before being sidelined until May. He returned at the Rome Masters, reaching the final but falling to Alcaraz.
Heartbreak in Paris, History at Wimbledon
The Italian faced Alcaraz again in the Roland Garros final, suffering a crushing defeat despite holding three match points. The five-hour, 29-minute battle ended 4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6.
Sinner responded in emphatic fashion at Wimbledon, becoming the first Italian to lift the trophy at the All England Club.
Late-Season Dominance
Alcaraz got the better of Sinner in both Cincinnati and the US Open, prompting the Italian to refine his game. The response was decisive:
-
Titles in Beijing, Vienna, and Paris
-
A dominant run at the ATP Finals, where he won all matches in straight sets
-
A statement victory over Alcaraz in the final to close the season in style
Sinner later withdrew from the Davis Cup Finals to rest.
Back to Work in Dubai
Now refreshed, the San Candido native is back on court in Dubai, fine-tuning his strokes and preparing for another strong Australian swing.
Muller’s Breakthrough Year
At 28, Alexandre Muller enjoyed the best season of his career in 2025. He won his first ATP title in Hong Kong, broke into the top 40, and finished the year as France’s fifth-highest ranked player, despite a quieter second half of the season.
