Jannik Sinner, the 22-year-old Italian tennis sensation, has been making waves in the world of tennis, and his recent victory over Daniil Medvedev at the Vienna Open is a testament to his meteoric rise. Sinner’s journey from a rising star to a formidable contender has left many in the tennis world in awe.
Sinner’s impressive performance at the Vienna Open saw him overcome Medvedev, a player with whom Sinner’s coach, Riccardo Piatti, has worked full-time since 2017. The Italian defeated Medvedev 7-6(7), 4-6, 6-3, marking his second victory over the Russian in a short period, following his triumph at the China Open in October.
The victory in Vienna adds to Sinner’s already impressive list of achievements. Since reaching his first Grand Slam semi-final at Wimbledon in July, Sinner has been on a winning streak. He secured titles at the ATP 500 tournaments in Beijing and Vienna and claimed the Canada Masters in Toronto in August, marking the biggest title of his career.
As a result of his stellar performances, Jannik Sinner now stands as the world No. 4 in the ATP Rankings, with only the established trio of Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, and Daniil Medvedev above him. Sinner’s remarkable journey will continue as he makes his debut at the ATP Finals in Turin in November after securing qualification earlier this month.
In an interview following Sinner’s victory over Medvedev, Sinner’s coach, Riccardo Piatti, praised the improvements the young Italian has made in every aspect of his game. Piatti highlighted Sinner’s ability to combine defense and attack, increase shot speed effortlessly, and reduce unforced errors, making him a formidable opponent.
When asked if Sinner had reached the same level as Djokovic, Alcaraz, and Medvedev, Piatti expressed confidence in Sinner’s potential, emphasizing that he has just begun to consistently win against top players. The coach’s hope is that Sinner’s rise will continue, especially in Grand Slam tournaments.
As Jannik Sinner takes the court at the Paris Masters, fans and tennis enthusiasts eagerly await his performance, watching a young talent with the potential to shape the future of the sport.
