Jannik Sinner’s hot streak should continue going forward into the new season
Sinner, along with peers Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune, is seen as a vital member of the next generation of men’s tennis superstars. While Rune has yet to prove himself on the biggest of stages, Alcaraz and Sinner have certainly shown what they’re capable of when they’re in full flow.
The Italian ended the previous season on a high note, as he won multiple tournaments as both an individual and as a part of a greater collective (Davis Cup with Italy). After his Australian Open triumph, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to say that Sinner will go all guns blazing in the upcoming Grand Slam tournaments.
