Jannik Sinner continues to garner praise after clinching his second title at Wimbledon and confirming his absolute dominance of the men's circuit. The world number 1 seems a step above the rest of his rivals, a feeling that has led one of the greatest legends of Italian tennis, Adriano Panatta, to reflect on the present and future of the youngster.

In a column published in Corriere della Sera, the 1976 Roland Garros champion considers that Jannik Sinner is not only currently the best player on the planet but is still far from reaching his peak. Panatta analyzes the virtues that explain the Italian's dominance, from the impressive evolution of his serve to an improvement capacity he describes as "scandalous." However, he also expresses a shared desire with much of the tennis world: for Carlos Alcaraz to return soon to bring back the great rivalry they had built.

Panatta misses Alcaraz

Panatta began his reflection by lamenting that Carlos Alcaraz's injury has temporarily broken the great rivalry that had marked recent times on the circuit.

"I want to see Carlitos back soon. I am sincerely convinced that only when Sinner and Alcaraz meet again, provided his injury is not too serious, will tennis once again offer a truly open confrontation, the duel we all want to see."

The former Italian tennis player believes that sports need constant rivalries to maintain their appeal. "Sport, and not just tennis, needs intense confrontations to be even more attractive." While that rivalry remains paused, Panatta believes the landscape is clear. "By winning his second Wimbledon, Sinner has shown he is too strong for everyone."

Adriano Panatta sees Sinner as far superior to the others

The recent Wimbledon final against Alexander Zverev further reinforced that feeling. The German arrived in good form after conquering Roland Garros and becoming the world number 2, but once again fell short of defeating the Italian. Panatta acknowledged the high level displayed by Zverev.

"He deserves congratulations because he approached the match in the best way possible. It's evident that the Paris title restored a confidence that many unexpected defeats had taken away. He is a great player, with very solid shots and a serve that always makes an impact."

Nevertheless, he believes that even the best version of the German falls short against the current ranking leader. "Sinner is still far superior to him and is a better player. The match was even until 6-6 in the second set. From there, the Italian powerhouse encountered no further obstacles."

He also recalled a stat that perfectly illustrates this superiority: Sinner's victory at Wimbledon marked his tenth consecutive win over Zverev, a psychological and sporting difference that is becoming overwhelming.

The Italian tennis legend believes Sinner's serve is already historic

For Panatta, one of the key factors in Sinner's growth in recent months lies in a very specific aspect of his game: the serve. The Italian finds it extraordinary that a player already fully established on the circuit has managed to transform such a complex shot.

"Jannik's serve has grown immensely in a few months. It's not easy to change the serve for young players; imagine doing it with a professional firmly established on the circuit. But Sinner has achieved it thanks to a work ethic and a desire to improve that are unparalleled."

His conclusion is even more striking. "Today his serve is at the level of the best servers in history. Not only because statistics say so, but because he knows how to find the ace exactly when he needs it most."

Panatta also highlighted the exceptional adaptation of the world number one to grass, a surface that historically did not seem the most favorable for his attributes.

"The two Wimbledon titles are a gift from his youth. The qualities of the skier that he was appear when he seeks support on the outer leg. There Jannik performs real miracles and manages to return almost impossible balls, saving games that seemed lost."

Sinner has a great room for improvement, according to Panatta

Perhaps the most revealing reflection from Panatta came when he analyzed the future of the Italian. Despite dominating the circuit and accumulating Grand Slam titles, he believes Sinner still has a tremendous journey ahead. "His margins for improvement are almost scandalous. It seems he has no limits."

Far from thinking that the number one has already reached his best version, Panatta considers that his attitude precisely explains why he will continue to evolve.

"He is 24 years old and will soon turn 25. The continuous attention he pays to his own growth can only be commendable. I don't know how far he will go, but I do know that over the next few months, we will find an increasingly better Sinner."

This reflection is particularly significant coming from someone who understands how challenging it is to progress when already at the pinnacle of world tennis. While many players tend to stabilize their performance upon reaching the elite level, Panatta sees in Sinner a permanent ambition to continue perfecting all aspects of his game.

Wimbledon as a turning point

Finally, Panatta also believes that success in London can have a huge emotional impact after challenging months for the Italian.

"After everything that happened in Paris, the sudden block against the younger Cerundolo, the extensive medical tests at the San Raffaele hospital, and all the doubts he surely had, this victory will allow him to erase at least part of all that." And he concluded by recalling the special value that has always been attached to lifting the most prestigious trophy in tennis. "A victory at Wimbledon always has something magical. And this time has been no different."

The words of Adriano Panatta reflect an increasingly widespread feeling in the circuit: Jannik Sinner already dominates the present of men's tennis, but what truly worries his rivals is that, according to those who understand this sport best, he has not yet shown his full potential.
