JANNIK SINNER arrived "home" in Monaco targeting the French Open and the world No.1 ranking.
The Australian Open champion became the highest-ranked Italian man in history by winning the Miami Open and climbing to world No.2.
In a stunning start to the year, Sinner has won 22 out of 23 matches while Novak Djokovic, the world No.1, is 8-3 including a shock defeat to world No.123 Luca Nardi - and has just split with his coach Goran Ivanisevic.
The Serbian (circled) is now only 1,015 points clear at the top of the rankings, with Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz 65 points behind Sinner.
With the clay-court season starting in Sinner's base of Monte Carlo this weekend, the summer promises a thrilling three-way battle for world No.1.
