After winning the Australian Open, Jannik Sinner is still getting used to life as a Grand Slam champion. However, he is focused on rising to the top of the men’s tennis world and insists he will not give up.
After defeating top-seeded Novak Djokovic in the semifinals, the world number four came back from a two-set deficit to defeat 2021 U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev 3-6 3-6 6-4 6-4 6-3 to win his first major title last month.
Sinner’s consistent progress defines him as a potential world number one. Last season, Sinner also defeated Djokovic in the Davis Cup semifinals and the ATP Finals group stage.
Sinner expressed his thoughts about it and said: “Let’s see, I don’t like to talk about ranking. I just try to be happy on the court and improve as a player. That’s the only thing I can control. I’m happy that I’m number four at the moment. For sure, my dream is to become number one in the world and I will work as hard as I possibly can.”
