BREAKING: JANNIK SINNER HAS ‘INVENTED A NEW GAME’ AS ADRIANO PANATTA DEEMS NOVAK DJOKOVIC TO BE ‘OUTDATED’
Former tennis champion Adriano Panatta has ignited a fiery debate by boldly asserting that young sensation Jannik Sinner has already outclassed the likes of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal in the contemporary tennis landscape.
Panatta, the 1976 French Open winner, didn’t mince words in his assessment, claiming that Sinner’s innovative style of play has rendered even Djokovic, Federer, and Nadal obsolete. He emphasized that it’s not a matter of resignation from the legendary trio but rather their gameplay no longer aligning with the demands of modern tennis.
Comparing Sinner’s game to a flawless ball throwing machine, Panatta emphasized the Italian’s unprecedented power and technique, suggesting that even Federer at the peak of his prowess would have struggled against Sinner’s relentless onslaught.
Despite his admiration for Federer, whom he regards as the greatest of all time, Panatta remains steadfast in his belief that Sinner’s meteoric rise and dominance in recent tournaments, including his triumph at the Miami Open, have reshaped the tennis landscape.
Panatta’s sentiments are further reinforced by the statistical dominance of players like Bjorn Borg, who, in his brief career, amassed more Grand Slam victories than Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer combined, underscoring the shifting dynamics of tennis greatness.
As Sinner continues to make waves with his remarkable performances, Panatta’s bold assertions serve as a compelling testament to the ever-evolving nature of the sport and the emergence of a new era defined by the likes of Jannik Sinner.
