PARIS—Tennis players are always on the hunt for ways to improve, from changing technique, bringing on new team members or trying out tactical adjustments. Experimenting with leaving their comfort zone, for all intents and purposes. Even if you are world No. 1.
At this year’s Roland Garros, Jannik Sinner has presented opponents with a different look across the net. Bringing an altered return position, which begins with a noticeably closed stance and then using his front foot as a driving force, has clearly paid off thus far, as the Italian is yet to drop a set through four matches.
