Jannik Sinner has been by far the best player this year, reaching the top of the rankings, and winning two Grand Slams. And Novak Djokovic has now revealed that he always knew the Italian was destined for great things after they met when Sinner was still a teenager.

The 2025 Australian Open is about a month and a half away, but players are already preparing for the first Major of the new season. The top favorite in Melbourne will certainly be Jannik Sinner, who won the title in 2024 and has simply been unstoppable over the past twelve months.

Serena Williams' ex-coach Patrick Mouratoglou hailed Jannik Sinner as "Novak Djokovic 2.0". According to Mouratoglou, Sinner brings the same skillset to the tennis court as Djokovic but uses the skills at a much higher pace than the Serb.
