John McEnroe has identified increased pressure as Jannik Sinner's main challenge at the upcoming French Open, following Carlos Alcaraz's injury withdrawal. Sinner enters the tournament on a 29-match winning streak. The Italian is set to begin his campaign against Clement Tabur on Thursday.
McEnroe spoke at a media event in Paris. He noted that Alcaraz's absence shifts expectations onto Sinner alone. The former champion said this dynamic creates the best opportunity for an upset during the fortnight at Roland Garros.
