The 22-year-old also won ATP 500 titles in Vienna and Beijing during this period, allowing him to move up to fourth place in his career.
Ljubicic then compared Sinner’s progress to his rival Carlos Alcaraz, saying, “Janik is not a player like Alcaraz, who went from 40 years old to one year old. He needs his steps.” Ta. Thanks to constant efforts, he was able to get closer to his goal.
“He needed certain experience in order to be comfortable on this path. At the end of 2022, I regret that Jannik will not be able to play in important matches against the big boys. “Now he doesn’t have to learn anything anymore. He has a perfect attitude on and off the pitch, and in interviews he doesn’t hesitate to talk about his limitations.” /p>
World No. 1 Novak Djokovic lost just seven matches throughout 2023, while Sinner is the only player to beat the Serbian multiple times.

This breakthrough gave Ljubicic confidence to play in next year’s big tournaments. “After winning the Davis Cup, he can go to Australia with real hope. And he beat the entire top 10.”
The Croatian player continued: “You’re going to see him in Slam management. When he has time, when he’s under pressure, when he’s thinking – and he’s very thoughtful – more problems arise. There is a possibility.”
“But he has very talented people around him. His strength is his personality. He never gets discouraged and never gets dissatisfied. When he reached third place, I thought I had reached the top and the downward trend had begun.”
Sinner is currently not scheduled to participate in any official ATP tournaments before the Australian Open, but has registered for the Kooyong Classic Exhibition event.
In the baseline…
The past few months have been amazing for Jannik Sinner. He was probably his second best player in the world in the second half of the season. The Italian’s best Grand Slam result came earlier this year when he reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon, and if he continues his current form, he is likely to surpass that in 2024.
