Jannik Sinner has entered elite territory once again. The Italian tennis star became the first player since Novak Djokovic to reach multiple ATP 500 finals and secure over 55 wins in a single season, following his run to the Vienna Open final.
Sinner’s performance this year has been characterized by discipline, patience, and world-class shot-making. He has been nearly unstoppable on indoor hard courts, boasting wins over stars like Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, and Holger Rune.
Djokovic last accomplished a similar record-breaking streak in 2015, during his prime. For Sinner, achieving this at 24 signals a possible shift in tennis’s power balance.
As the Vienna final approaches, Sinner stands on the brink of another title — and perhaps, the official passing of the torch from one era to the next.
