Jannik Sinner has been a teenager to watch in the past three seasons, starting the 2019 campaign from outside the top-500 and currently standing on the verge of the top-30!
Recognized for his sheer talent and striking abilities, the young Italian had a chance to practice with the world's leading players even before turning 19, sharing the practice court with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer at the Australian Open 2020. Jannik claimed three Challenger titles and the ATP Next Gen Finals in 2019 and continued in the same style in 2020, lifting his first ATP crown in Sofia and reaching the first Major quarter-final at Roland Garros.
Nadal had to work hard to beat the young gun, who led in the first and second set before falling 7-6, 6-4, 6-1. The Spaniard asked Sinner to train with him in Adelaide at the beginning of the year ahead of the Australian Open, with the upcoming star sharing the court with the 20-time Major winner and learning a lot from him.
"My idol is Rafael Nadal. I am quite nervous every time I see him. It is the same with Roger Federer; it is always special to meet them," Jannik Sinner said.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
