Jannik Sinner is ramping up preparations ahead of his return to action on North American hard courts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tennis fans last saw the world number one in action at Wimbledon, when Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> in the final to clinch his fourth major title.<\/p>\n

Deciding against making a swift return to competition, Sinner withdrew from the Canadian Open<\/a>, instead choosing to rest up ahead of his trip to Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

The Italian has a lot of work to do over the coming months, as he prepares to defend 3,000 points at the Cincinnati Open<\/a> and US Open.<\/p>\n

Ahead of his title defence in Ohio, Sinner<\/a> has broken his silence on social media, updating fans for the first time since July 16.<\/p>\n

Sharing a video of him practising on social media, Sinner revealed how he is feeling ahead of the Cincinnati Open.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack to work, feeling great,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Sinner has been training with his fellow Italian, Matteo Berrettini<\/a>, on hard courts in Monte-Carlo this week before heading to Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

Berrettini won\u2019t be competing at the Cincinnati Open<\/a> as he continues his comeback from injury, but will no doubt have learned a lot from his time practising with the four-time Grand Slam champion.<\/p>\n

Looking to build momentum ahead of the final Grand Slam of the season in New York, Sinner will be hoping to pick up another Masters 1000 title in Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

12 months ago, Sinner defeated Frances Tiafoe<\/a> in the final of the Cincinnati Open to win his third Masters 1000 title, before adding to his tally in Shanghai a few months later.<\/p>\n

Missing five of the six Masters 1000 events in 2025 through suspension and scheduling decisions, Sinner has been unable to pick up another title since, as he remains the fifth most successful active player at the level.<\/p>\n\nRank<\/strong><\/td>\nName<\/strong><\/td>\nMasters 1000 titles<\/strong><\/td>\nMost recent title<\/strong><\/td>\nYears won<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1<\/td>\nNovak Djokovic<\/td>\n40<\/td>\n2023 Cincinnati Open<\/td>\n2007-2023<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nT-2<\/td>\nCarlos Alcaraz<\/td>\n7<\/td>\n2025 Italian Open<\/td>\n2022-2025<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nT-2<\/td>\nAlexander Zverev<\/td>\n7<\/td>\n2024 Paris Masters<\/td>\n2017-2024<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n4<\/td>\nDaniil Medvedev<\/td>\n6<\/td>\n2023 Italian Open<\/td>\n2019-2023<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n5<\/td>\nJannik Sinner<\/td>\n4<\/td>\n2024 Shanghai Masters<\/td>\n2023-2024<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n6<\/td>\nStefanos Tsitsipas<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n2024 Monte-Carlo Masters<\/td>\n2021-2024<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Sinner will be in with a good chance of closing the gap to Daniil Medvedev<\/a> with a win in Cincinnati, but is he the favorite to win the tournament?<\/p>\n

Top three favorites to win the 2025 Cincinnati Open1. Carlos Alcaraz<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to bet on anyone other than Sinner in 2025, it\u2019s got to be Alcaraz<\/a>, who is one of two men (alongside Alexander Bublik) to have beaten him this year.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard may have lost in the Wimbledon final last time out, but like Sinner, he skipped the Canadian Open to rest up ahead of a trip to Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz famously lost a thrilling Cincinnati Open final two years ago to Serbia\u2019s Novak Djokovic<\/a>, coming up short in three sets.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll be confident of going one better in 2025, as he looks to pick up his third Masters 1000 title of the year.<\/p>\n

2. Jannik Sinner<\/p>\n

The defending champion will make his return to Cincinnati as one of the favorites, and while Alcaraz has performed better at the Masters 1000 level in 2025, Sinner\u2019s hard-court prowess shouldn\u2019t be forgotten.<\/p>\n

Sinner hasn\u2019t lost a match on hard courts in 303 days and has picked up four titles during that period.<\/p>\n
