Hey there, fellow tennis enthusiasts It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter here, living the dream in Miami. Today, I’m super excited to dive into the fascinating journey of Jannik Sinner as he prepares for the ATP Finals in Turin. If you want to know more about how he’s been dominating the tennis world, keep reading!
Jannik Sinner has been on an incredible run since the closing stages of 2023. He’s not only been a player to beat but has also secured some major victories. One of his most notable wins was over Novak Djokovic, securing Italy’s first Davis Cup title since 1976 Finishing the season ranked 4th, Sinner gathered momentum ahead of this year’s Australian Open, defeating seven rivals and becoming a Major winner at just 22 years old. He even pulled off an incredible comeback versus Daniil Medvedev in the final from two sets to love down.
But that wasn’t all; Sinner continued his streak by conquering Rotterdam and extending his winning run to 16 matches before Carlos Alcaraz halted him in the Indian Wells semi-final. He fixed that in Miami, dominating from the quarter-final stage and adding the second Masters 1000 title to his tally. Although he fell to Stefanos Tsitsipas in Monte Carlo and withdrew ahead of the Madrid Masters quarter-final due to hip issues, he recovered for Roland Garros and reached the semi-final, earning enough points to dethrone Novak Djokovic and become the 29th world no. 1 in ATP history.
Sinner’s journey didn’t stop there. He led two times against Carlos Alcaraz in the Roland Garros semi-final before falling in five sets, turning his focus to the grass swing. He conquered his first tournament as world no. 1 in Halle and reached the Wimbledon quarter-final, struggling physically against Daniil Medvedev and falling in five sets. Skipping the Olympic Games in Paris, Sinner recovered during the North American swing and lifted the trophy at the Cincinnati Masters, claiming his second Major crown with a victory over Taylor Fritz.
Now, as he heads into the ATP Finals in Turin, Sinner is seeking another notable title in front of the home fans. He’s been working hard with his coach, Darren Cahill, and former world no. 8 Radek Stepanek, who joined him in Monte Carlo for a training session focused on improving his volleys.
