The South Tyrolean was able to achieve twelve victories against top 10 players, including final opponent Djokovic, this season – on good days, the redhead is able to beat any competitor.
At the ATP Finals alone he achieved four successes against the best players in the world; this strong series was only broken in the final against the Serb (3:6, 3:6). Reason enough for Djokovic coach Ivanisevic to praise Ivanisevic.
“I’m a big fan of Jannik. I’ve been following him since he played in the juniors and I have a lot of respect for him,” the Croatian told reporters after the final in Turin on Sunday evening. “I like his tennis. I think he has improved a lot with his team over the last year.”
In particular, Sinner’s serve and net game improved enormously last season. “We saw a Jannik Sinner who can win – and who especially believes that he can win Grand Slams.”

Together with Carlos Alcaraz, who already has two Grand Slam victories, the Italian Ivanisevic is “two steps ahead” of the competition. “Sinner is just catching up. In my opinion, these two guys will be the future of tennis,” said the former top player.
“Jannik has really improved this year. He has shown the world and himself that he is ready to win Grand Slams next year and that he is not afraid of anyone,” the 52-year-old added.
Sinner himself sees his improvement in performance primarily in his regained mental strength: “I no longer complained so much on the pitch when something went wrong. I think things like that sometimes make the difference.”
His big advantage for the coming season: “I played many, many important games in the biggest stadiums in the world throughout the year.” With the experience from these big matches, the Italian will attack again next year.
