# Tennis: World number one Jannik Sinner says he’s happy with his level, despite losing to number two, Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, in Sunday’s final of the Italian Open. The local hero played brilliantly on his return from a three-month doping ban, but Alcaraz was just too strong. Sinner says his form gives him confidence for the French Open, starting in Paris on Sunday. Alcaraz is the defending champion, underlining his dominance on clay courts, while the Italian’s three Grand Slam titles all came on hard courts.
