Jannik Sinner unlocks special record to set alongside Big Three after superb 2023 season....so far
ATPFriday, 24 November 2023 at 10:00
Italy’s young tennis star Jannik Sinner joined an elite list
of players to achieve something spectacular in a single season.
The 22-year-old is regarded as one of the most highly-rated young
tennis players in the men’s singles category alongside Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz
and America’s Ben Shelton.
After having an impressive season, Sinner joined an elite
list of players to win nine or more matches in a single season against top-five
players since 2000. The only other players to do that in the last 23 years are
Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, Spain’s Rafael Nadal and Switzerland’s Roger Federer.
Sinner’s season came to a rather disappointing end as he
lost in the final of the recently concluded ATP Finals in Turin where he lost
to Djokovic in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-3.
Sinner ended up winning four ATP titles in 2023. His first triumph
came in February as he defeated America’s Maxime Cressy in the final in
straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-3 in Montpellier.
He then won the
Canada Open after defeating Australia’s Alex de Minaur in the final with a score
of 6-4, 6-1. Last month, Sinner defeated Russia’s Daniil Medvedev with a score
of 7-6, 7-6 to lift the China Open. His last title triumph in 2023 came in Vienna
where he got the better of Medvedev once again with a score of 7-6, 4-6, 6-3.

- 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
