Matrs Wilander said-“The difference between him (Jannik Sinner) and a lot of other guys that dictate he moves, he flies around the court. So he plays very, very aggressive defense, just like Novak Djokovic, pretty much probably hits the ball harder when he’s open stance than Djokovic, so he is shown in the last couple of years that he’s definitely going to be a Grand Slam champion, I think. But honestly, after the last three weeks, I think it’s more than that.”

However, Wilander went beyond that and expressed that Sinner improvised his skills quite surprisingly after his ATP 2023 tournament performance. Wilander recalled how Jannik Sinner showed his skill to the world by coming back with the Davis Cup 2023 victory after losing the ATP Finals trophy to Djokovic.

Mats Wilander said-“I didn’t think he had this much talent. He was going to improve this much this quickly. But just the whole Italian thing. ATP finals in Torino, of course making the finals beating Djokovic, then the Davis Cup right after, I mean, it’s like a Cinderella perfect storm for Jannik Sinner’s development as a player to me.” Now it is not just the former tennis star who believes in Sinner but the whole of Italy can’t stop praising this tennis prodigy.

Sinner attended AC Milan’s match against Borussia Dortmund yesterday and the crowd at the gallery welcomed him in a beautiful way. The whole stadium cheered his name while he entered and it seemed his country was grateful for the hard work Sinner put forth for the Davis Cup this year.

Not only that but AC Milan gifted a jersey to the tennis star with his name showing their gratitude. Following this, fans could understand Italy’s overwhelming respect for Jannik Sinner.

Jannik Sinner truly deserves a standing ovation for his amazing tennis strokes back-to-back in the ATP and Davis Cup tournaments. However, Mats Wilander’s comment brings out his best to the audience. If Sinner continues to perform on such a scale, he will soon outshine Djokovic. What do you think?
