Jannik Sinner wins the Most Improved Player of the Year award. This is the Italian player’s second 2023 ATP Award, having won the Fans’ Favorite Award earlier this week.
With six tour-level titles under her belt, the Italian started the 2023 season ranked No. 15 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings. Due to the excitement surrounding the 22-year-old, Sinner surpassed high expectations in 2023 and continued to grow.
Sinner made it to the Nitto ATP Finals championship match and won four titles at the tour level, including his first-ever ATP Masters 1000 victory in Toronto. In addition, he advanced to his first major semifinal at Wimbledon, reached his career-high ranking of No. 4, and won the Davis Cup with Italy.
In 2023, Sinner achieved a personal best of 13 top-10 victories, which included two wins over world No. 1 Novak Djokovic and two over Carlos Alcaraz. Throughout the previous three seasons, he had secured nine top-10 victories.
Sinner expressed his remarks during a conversation and said: “I think, especially in the second half of the year, mentally I was much, much stronger. I was not complaining so much on the court when things were going the wrong way. I think this kind of thing makes a difference sometimes.”
He added: “One of the things where I can be really happy is that I played many, many important matches in the biggest stadiums we have throughout the whole year. This is something that hopefully can help for the next season.”
