Sinner Targets Serve After US Open Loss, Drills Motion Without Racket

Fresh serving data exposes a trade-off that Sinner aims to fix before the Asian swing.

Overview

  • Jannik Sinner has resumed training at the Monte-Carlo Country Club, rehearsing his service motion without a racket after losing the US Open final to Carlos Alcaraz.
  • Sinner said he will make small technical changes to his serve, signaling targeted tweaks rather than a wholesale overhaul.
  • Over the past 52 weeks he ranks 54th in first‑serve percentage at 60.6%, yet he is third in first‑serve points won at 78.9% and leads the tour in second‑serve points won at 59.6%.
  • In the US Open final Alcaraz created 11 break chances and Sinner lost 42% of points on his own serve in a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 defeat.
  • His reported schedule lists Beijing and Vienna next, with participation in ParisBercy uncertain and a potential Alcaraz rematch during the Asian swing discussed by observers.
