Jannik Sinner is the master of the ATP circuit. Due to the absence of Carlos Alcaraz due to a wrist injury, the reality is that the world number 1's biggest (and only) rival is himself. There are increasing comparisons between the Italian tennis player and Novak Djokovic, and Renzo Furlan has been the latest to state that Sinner is an upgraded version of the Serbian.

What sets Sinner apart is his completeness, his agility, and when he is at 100%, he seems like an impenetrable wall, just like Djokovic. While it's true that the Italian's forehand may surpass Djokovic's, and Nole's backhand could be better than Jannik's, the reality is that they share many characteristics that according to Furlan the current world number 1 has improved upon in comparison to Nole.

"Sinner is a Djokovic 2.0. I see Jannik as an evolved version of Nole. They play with a similar style, keep the ball moving a lot, and both have improved their serve over the course of their careers. Jannik, however, is more powerful, his shots are quicker. He possesses two formidable qualities: an extensive technical repertoire that allows him to display exceptional tennis, and his work ethic. He never shies away from a challenge: he steps onto the court, tries new things, and above all, learns them immediately," said Luca Nardi's coach in Corriere Dello Sport.

Furlan explains why Alcaraz and Sinner are above the rest of the circuit

With Djokovic nearing the end of his career, Sinner and Alcaraz have shown that they are above the rest. In fact, they had dominated the last Grand Slams until the recent Roland Garros, where Alexander Zverev claimed his first major title. The German player also reached the Wimbledon final a few weeks later, but Jannik delivered a reality check that Renzo himself supports.

"Until the tiebreak in the second set, I had my doubts. Zverev was playing at a very high level. Then Sinner simply stepped up his game, always finding a way to respond. Once the obstacle in the second set was overcome, the feeling was clear: the match would end in four sets in favor of the Italian. At that moment, Jannik started to undermine his opponent's confidence, and the decline of the German was inevitable."

According to him, "despite Zverev's improvement and the confidence he gained from his success at Roland Garros, I believe that Wimbledon demonstrates how superior Sinner and Alcaraz are compared to the rest. They can play at a high level for hours without dropping pace. In fact, they are able to raise their game in decisive moments. They are the only two who can do it.” So far, the dominance of the Italian and the Spaniard has been indisputable, so it remains to be seen if the second tier can step up or if they continue to rely on what the two players destined to win all the major titles do.
