Sinner has emerged as the Achilles heel for Novak Djokovic in recent months. The Italian player has proven to be a formidable force, showcasing his talent in both tours and Grand Slam events. With his first-ever Grand Slam victory under his belt, Sinner is undoubtedly one of the rising stars in the sport.
In a recent interview with Marca, the World No.4 reflected on the influence of the ‘Big Three’ – Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic – who dominated the men’s tennis circuit during his formative years. Sinner drew parallels between his game and Djokovic’s, as the two have engaged in intense battles on the court. Surprisingly, Sinner has managed to gain the upper hand over Djokovic.
Few players in the tennis world can claim to have defeated Djokovic twice in a single night. The 23-year-old achieved this feat by defeating Djokovic in both singles and doubles matches during the Davis Cup, helping Italy secure a victory over Serbia in the semifinals. Additionally, Sinner also triumphed over the 24-time Grand Slam champion in the semifinals of the Australian Open. Despite Djokovic’s dominance in the tournament, winning it a record 10 times, Sinner proved to be a formidable opponent every time they crossed paths on the court.
