The stars of the next generation of tennis are ready to take over the sport from their seniors. But many older stars are still standing in their way as they continue to go strong in the sport. Novak Djokovic is one of them. However, the Serbinator’s coach believes that Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are set to lead the future of tennis.

While his coach believes Sinner will be the lead of the future, Novak Djokovic himself believes that the Italian youngster is one of the future leaders of the next generation of tennis. Now, the 24-time grand slam champion is aligned with his coach.

Novak Djokovic’s coach calls Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz leaders

The ATP Finals has concluded, and we have our champion, Novak Djokovic. The Serbian star has won his seventh ATP Finals. He played against Sinner, and the two had an impressive bout, but the Djoker was the eventual champion. Watching him portray his skills, Goran Ivanišević was impressed with the Italian player’s growth.

He said that he is a big fan of his and loves his tennis. Ivanišević further said that Sinner has improved in all areas and he plays much better volleys, as tennis fans could see his performance this past week.

He further said, “You can see Jannik Sinner this week that he played unbelievable tennis till today when we saw different Novak. I think for me there are two young players two steps in ahead of even else. One is Carlos Alcaraz, who is still little bit… Second one is Jannik Sinner. Jannik Sinner is catching up. These two guys for me, they’re going to be future of the tennis.”

Djokovic on the leader of the next generation of tennis stars

Jannik Sinner met Novak Djokovic earlier this year in Wimbledon, where the Italian player was ousted by the year-end number 1. Although he beat Sinner in straight sets, the Serbian star said that the 22-year-old had proved why he was one of the leaders of the next generation. He also said that Sinner was one of the best players in the world and that he loved being able to play with this generation of stars.

Sinner’s stint following the US Open showed that Djokovic was likely correct. He has improved immensely but still has a ways to go before he can claim a grand slam title. He will have tough opponents as he continues to rise to the top and adopts new strategies.
