The third chance is the charm, not because that’s what the popular saying says, but because it reflects the wonderful change the Italian has undergone. Jannik Sinnerwho launched himself on the springboard in August and never stopped flying to the top.
In the 2021 final he barely slept last night because of nerves. He surrendered to the Poles Hubert Hurkacz. In 2023 he fell ill the day before, and fell against the Russian Daniel Medvedev. There are no buts or limits in 2024, which was confirmed as a great one after breaking all barriers by conquering the Australian Open.
Jannik Sinner22 years old, destroyed the butcher of Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev the Bulgarians lost Grigor Dimitrov, 32 years old and number 12, 6-3 and 6-1 in 1h.13′.
This Sinner is unbreakable, winning 22 of 23 games played this season. Lost in semifinals of Indian Wells against Carlos Alcaraz, who then defended a world number two which has now been taken from him by the Italian. And the natural tendency is that I end up removing the No. 1 from Novak Djokovic.
The transalpino does everything well, strengthening his body and his head at the same time. He had the conditions to reign, he worked until he found the best in himself. He has no holes when he trusts himself. Build a wall behind it. He attacks as well as he defends. He does what he has to do all the time, he handles this sport perfectly. He was quietly but mercilessly destroyed Dimitrovwhich has to settle for a return to the world top-10.
Sinner won his nineteenth ATP title, in 22 finals. It was his second Masters 1000, after Canada 2023, where he gave the first warning of what was to come. He has won 42 of 45 matches since the US Open, 25 of the last 26.
Amazing. He started out frustrated, but was undaunted by the euphoric Dimitrov, who won his first 8 points on serve. Sinner was first in trouble, but he came back from the break ball to make it 2-2. He then broke the opponent’s serve, and took complete control of the match. There were no further concessions from the transalpine, which shocked his opponent.
Then Australia and Rotterdam, third trophy of the great dominator of the first part of the campaign. And a check for $1,100,000. The next challenge of the sinner is called clay, where he did not shine in 2023.
