Sinner, a smile at last: comes confirmation on world number one and Jannik perhaps gets some pebbles off his shoes
Who knows what Jannik Sinner is thinking about in these fiery days for him. Criticism on one side and the other for his nonparticipation in the Olympics due to tonsillitis. And there are many who have said some, even some heavy ones, against the Italian tennis player: different behavior was expected since we are talking about a tournament that is played every 4 years. But everyone feels free to do what he wants, he should feel free to make the best decisions for his career. So Sinner did the right thing.
Of course, it’s not easy to go through times like that. And to read constant attacks on one’s own account. Sinner, though, at least can put a smile on his face for today. In fact, the Atp rankings have been published and Jannik is firmly in first place.
Sinner, leading for 8 weeks
And so that’s 8 weeks with an Italian in front of everyone in the world rankings. Something that as we know has never happened before, something that revolutionizes the way we see, in our parts, this sport. If we used to get excited commenting on Federer, Djokovic and Nadal, now we do it for one of our own, and it is definitely a good feeling.
Still within a thousand points of the Novak Djokovic-Carlos Alcaraz pairing, a situation that at least until Montreal will not change, since the Olympics, as is well known, do not award points. A satisfaction, also a beautiful important one, for our azure. And now we are all waiting to see how he will face the second part of this season, with the Us Open approaching, which we imagine could be Jannik’s real goal. Finally, below, you can see the top 10 rankings.
