Jannik Sinner keeps on impressing especially after the resumption of the tours. The Italian sensation seems to possess already a tennis level of a top20 if not more. Jannik seems not to struggle anymore against players that are not in the top20 and it is even not that strange if he upsets a top10 player.
Djokovic about Sinner
Novak Djokovic was asked to express an opinion about Jannik and the world no.1 had only great words for Jannik to say:
“I definitely see a lot of quality in the young players. [Sinner] definitely possesses a game that is powerful and is with a lot of quality, and you can say he has the potential to be a top player of the world.”
