There is no doubt in saying that Jannik Sinner will be one of the players to look forward to in the coming years. As a result of his five ATP titles, the Italian managed to achieve an incredible record that’s held by Novak Djokovic.
Djokovic had a terrific run at the 2007 ATP season
A 19-year old Djokovic managed to claim his fifth ATP tour title in 2007 by winning the clay-court event at Estoril in Portugal. In fact, it was the year where the Serbian claimed two Masters 1000 titles(Miami and Canada) before making his impact at several majors.
After the Serb, only Jannik Sinner is the youngest athlete to win five titles in a calendar year. The youngster won a single title at Sofia in 2020 and backed it up with trophies in Melbourne, Washington, Sofia, and Antwerp this year.
