Over the years, Jannik Sinner has often been called a “robot” by fans and fellow players; a tag that comes from his calm demeanor and relentless consistency on court. The Italian has looked nearly untouchable this season, often getting through matches with little visible strain, and he’s currently riding a 27-match winning streak. A big part of that form, it seems, comes from the specific training routines he follows to sharpen his focus and stay locked in during matches.

The 24-year-old is a part of the growing number of athletes who are using brain training routines to achieve a state of calm. They spend hours at mental gyms that include complex instruments that help in building a person’s mental economy. One of the ways that Sinner trains his brain is by strapping electrodes to his body under the guidance of Riccardo Ceccarelli, who is an Italy-based sports physician.

He had found a company called Formula Medicine and worked with F1 drivers initially. But multiple tennis players have also joined Ceccarelli’s mental gyms in recent years. Sinner is one of the more prominent names on the list and has been using his routines for quite some time now.

Italian Open Takes Huge Toll on Jannik Sinner As He Struggles With Fatigue in Bizarre Post-Match Scenes

1 day ago

The training seems to be working for Sinner on the court as he looks to be totally unstoppable at the moment. He hasn’t lost a match for over two months now and has already clinched four titles this year. This includes the Indian Wells Open, Miami Open, Monte Carlo Masters, and Madrid Open. Moreover, most of his opponents even struggle to win a set against him and have no answers to his ruthless shots.

This unbelievable run of form has seen Sinner dethrone Carlos Alcaraz and take over the rankings for the third time in his career. The Italian is currently on a strong run at the Rome Masters and has reached the semifinals of his home event.

He has recorded four consecutive wins in the tournament so far and has yet to drop even a single set. The World No. 1 has defeated the likes of Sebastian Ofner, Alexei Popyrin, Andrea Pellegrino, and Andrey Rublev in the first four rounds, respectively. He is now set to take on a familiar opponent, Daniil Medvedev, in the semifinals.

The two have so far faced each other 16 times in tour-level matches, and Sinner holds a 9-7 lead in the H2H record. He has dominated the matchup recently, racking up four consecutive wins over his Russian opponent. This includes the 7-6, 7-6 triumph in the final of the Indian Wells Open earlier in March. His winning streak makes him the heavy favorite for the upcoming clash.

Coming back, Sinner is not the only top player who undergoes extreme training methods as players like Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic have previously admitted to using similar kind of training routines, once again showcasing how the usage of technology is evolving when it comes to tennis.

Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic also resort to extreme training methods

It was confirmed by Alcaraz during Wimbledon last year that he had been wearing a chest patch, an instrument that measured his sweat and hydration levels throughout the match. This technology seemed to benefit Alcaraz quite a bit as he went on a 23-match unbeaten streak before it was eventually broken in the Wimbledon final by Sinner.

The Spaniard had then made a change in his training regime in October and had opetd for quite a controversial approach. Notably, Alcaraz was seen wearing black straps around his legs during a warm-up at the ATP Finals in Turin. While the fans had first speclated that the 22-year-old had picked up an injury, the truth ended up shocking many.

Turns out that the straps were an element of his workout. They were called blood flow restriction (BFR) bands and limited blood circulation in the limbs, allowing Alcaraz to build his muscle strength. He had begun using the element on his right arm in 2023 and had later added the straps to both of his arms and legs during gym workouts and pre-match warm-ups.

On the other hand, Djokovic had launched a new line of therapeutic wearables with Incrediwear earlier this year in March. Though it looks more like a compression sleeve, it actually doesn’t compress the injured area. Instead, it engages targeted joints and muscles, which helps in promoting better blood and oxygen flow. This then supports faster and natural healing.

Djokovic had himself experimented with the element before the 2024 French Open. Hee was seen wearing a gray and white Incrediwear sleeve on his right knee for a significant part of the season. It appears that the Serb benefitted from the product as he then decided to acquire a significant stake in the company in August, 2025 and also became its global brand ambassador.
