In the world of tennis, where well-known icons like Novak Djokovic and others are frequently the center of attention, an emerging star, Jannik Sinner, is making waves. Some, including renowned individuals like Carlos Alcaraz and the former coach of Serena Williams, Patrick Mouratoglou, have even started calling him the best player in the world.

Sinner, who has won 36 of his last 38 games, is aiming to win three titles in a row this season after winning the Australian Open and Rotterdam. And as we see Sinner’s meteoric rise to become one of the finest players in tennis, some question whether this enormous shift will make him surpass the current World No. 1 player, Novak Djokovic.

Mouratoglou and Alcaraz consider Jannik Sinner to be the ‘best’ player in tennis

Novak Djokovic, who faced his defeat in the Indian Wells against Luca Nardi, has also withdrawn himself from the Miami Open this year. Djokovic himself was unsatisfied with his performance in his recent tournament. As another star of tennis, Jannik Sinner is rising rapidly in the Indian Wells, the French coach Patrick Mouratglou places him next to the World No. 1 player. “Sinner is the strongest in the world at the moment with Djokovic,” said the French tennis coach.

Along with Mouratoglou, the Spanish sensation, Carlos Alcaraz has also expressed his view on Jannik Sinner’s extraordinary skills. In a post-match press conference, he said, “He’s the best tennis player in the world right now, without a doubt.”
