WASTED CHANCES STILL HAUNT SINNER

JANNIK Sinner admits it will be hard to stop thinking about the chances he missed in his epic French Open loss to Carlos Alcaraz.

- 

The Italian held three consecutive match points in the fourth set of last weekend's clash at Roland Garros, having also led by two sets to love, only for Alcaraz to fight back and claim a fifth grand slam title in what has been hailed as one of the best major finals of all time.

Both men are back in action this week, with Alcaraz top seed in the HSBC Championships at Queen's Club, while Sinner will compete in the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle.

The world number one headed home to Italy following the defeat but is hoping to find some solace back on the match court.

He told Tennis TV: "It was for sure a tough loss.

"I still think about these couple of points, and it won't stop here, I know that.

"But, in the other way, I'm happy to be here, I'm happy to start a new tournament.

"I think this helps me to get again into this match rhythm, and let's see how I'm going to react.

"You can see the negative side but there is also a positive side. I've never played tennis on clay like this.
