The results obtained by Jannik Sinner at the start of the season in the ATP Tour are there for all to see and have impressed many enthusiasts and insiders. The Italian confirmed his enormous talent from the Australian Open, a tournament in which he stopped in the round of 16 due to the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, onwards: after the tour in Oceania, the Italian reached at least the semifinal in all tournaments played up to the Miami Open, where he stopped one step away from the title.

The goal is to continue with this incredible performance even on clay to snatch an increasingly concrete qualification for the Nitto ATP Finals, given that he currently occupies fourth position.

Adriano Panatta: "Jannik Sinner is already on top of the world"

Adriano Panatta intervened to talk about the progress shown by the Italian in the last period.

He told: "Jannik is already on top of the world. Even if he is number 8 in the ranking, he is worth the top 5 in the world. We are talking about a tennis player with a great future ahead of him, I think he will win the most important tournaments, even the Grand Slam tournaments.

My heir? Other times, he is a great professional and together with Alcaraz and Rune will take the place of the Big Three. Before we had a great team in the women's and not in the men's, now we have a great team in the men's.

Popularity of tennis in Italy? When there are champions that we can see on television, interest and a desire to emulate are generated with the kids who enroll in tennis schools." Everyone is waiting to see the level that the native of San Candido will be able to express in the first tournament of the year on red clay.

At the Monte-Carlo Master 1000, almost a home tournament for Sinner living in the Principality of Monaco, the athlete will try to confirm himself and go in search of a good result. Among the great obstacles that he could face is the Serbian Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals, but first he will have to overcome the first two absolutely not simple rounds.
