"Avec Sinner, nous avons vu le nouveau Djokovic pour les 10 ou 15 prochaines années"
Jannik Sinner has once again shone at the Tennis Cathedral. One year later, the world number one retains the Wimbledon title and now holds five Grand Slams at 24 years of age. He did so, moreover, after the tough setback he experienced at Roland Garros, where it was assumed he would win following Carlos Alcaraz's absence, and where he suffered from heat exhaustion in the second round.
However, in London, he gradually found his rhythm. Although he came close to causing a huge scare in his debut against Miomir Kecmanovic, where he had to go to five sets, he quickly regained his cruising speed and then showcased his best level to provide another lesson in dominance, aggressiveness, and control.
Marion Bartoli, Wimbledon champion in 2013, showered Jannik Sinner with praises
The Jannik Sinner who dominated in Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid, and Rome emerged, but he also endured in the Wimbledon final against one of the best versions of Alexander Zverev. For all these reasons, for a long time now, the Italian has been associated with the young version of Novak Djokovic. A fact that Marion Bartoli, Wimbledon champion in 2013, fiercely defended.
"I believe that with Sinner, we have seen the new Djokovic for the next ten or fifteen years; the way he weathered the storm when he had to, the manner in which he executed an extraordinary shot when necessary, reminds me greatly of Djokovic," stated the Frenchwoman on the BBC after the Italian's second victory in London.
To say he is the new Novak Djokovic is no small statement, but what is clear is that Jannik Sinner, alongside Carlos Alcaraz, seems to have no rivals in the coming years.
