Jannik Sinner is the man of the week on the ATP Tour. The Italian has always showed off an incredible potential and now that he has just turned 18, he reaches an ATP final in Antwerp after beating the likes of Gael Monfils and Frances Tiafoe.
Jannik impressed with his aggressive tennis and the incredible “easy power” that he can put in his shots. Also, the Italian is rather unique for how grounded he is despite his young age.
LIVE RANKINGS
Jannik is currently the world no.119. However, he is in the top100 in the live rankings and he is on his way to have direct access in the Australian Open main draw in 2020.
