Italy’s young tennis star Jannik Sinner has earned a lot of
praise from some of the high-profile names in the sport after his recent
triumph.
The 22-year-old defeated the current world number three Russia’s
Daniil Medvedev in the final of the China Open with a score of 7-6, 7-6 to lift
the title.
Following that win, Sinner received a lot of praise from the
likes of ex-Andre Agassi coach Brad Gilbert and former Serena Williams coach Rennae
Stubbs.
"Tremendous win for Sin City @janniksin. Taking out
Meddy Bear for 1st time, what a back to back days in Beijing for the
title," wrote Gilbert.
"So happy for @janniksin !!! So deserves this. Congrats
mate!!," Stubbs tweeted.
Former world number one Boris Becker also congratulated
Sinner on his achievement in a story on his official Instagram account.
The current world number four is often regarded as one of
the best young talents in the circuit in men’s singles tennis alongside Spain’s
Carlos Alcaraz.
The victory against Medvedev in the final of the event was
an important one for the Innichen-born who had a difficult time competing in
big events this year.
Sinner played in the main round of all Grand Slams but
managed to qualify for the quarterfinal or beyond in just one event — Wimbledon.
In that competition,
his journey ended after he lost to the current world number one Novak Djokovic in
straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 7-6.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
- And this is such a shock to WTA?? How many times are they (WTA & ATP) going to keep stepping in their own s*** ???mandoist15-09-2024
