At the moment you convince yourself to be the best, something inside you throws you into the abyss. Believing you have reached the farthest point possible will end up being counterproductive for your future, as your efforts will diminish in proportion to that ideal thought. And Jannik Sinner is the perfect example of how to stay grounded knowing that, as of today, he is the best by far. We say 'as of today' because tennis can be very volatile if you are not made of the same stuff as the Italian.

Jannik has just conquered his third Grand Slam at the Australian Open, but what he conveys is that the work is not yet finished. The way the world number 1 understands tennis is not as a race for trophies, but as a constant pursuit of perfection. And what do we understand by perfection? That balance between his innate tennis skills and his almost unchanging mentality. Everything about him ends up poetic, like the current Virgil of tennis, someone who blurs the boundaries of reality and epic.

In the end, what makes Sinner so special is not only his ability to win matches, but his power to challenge what we all believe is possible and his ability to overcome invisible barriers. This requires a lot of faith in what he does and in himself. An ice block? That's what he may seem like on the outside, but you have to love this sport with great passion and feeling to develop the ability to stand firm while others falter. That is an art that two other retired artists and another who won't be around much longer have left as a legacy.

A Demoralizing Subject

Sinner is not only breaking records, he is redefining what it means to be a champion because the way he punishes his rivals is becoming more that of a ruthless tyrant than of a shy young man. Another proof of this was how he reduced the final against Zverev to a mere formality. And it's scary. Scary because he is standing alone on that steep peak from which he has long been watching his rivals. This time it was the German, but it could be anyone. While others face anxiety and tension, he concentrates, adapts, and executes, always with the precision of a surgeon. The matches have become a chess game, and Sinner, like a master, always has a move prepared. Who will be able to melt the ice this year?
