Jannik Sinner is the most popular tennis player in the world right now. The Italian ace started the new season exactly as he ended the previous one, continuing to win relentlessly and demonstrating his superiority over all opponents on the hard courts.

The world No.1 lifted the Australian Open trophy for the second year in a row, putting the third Grand Slam title of his young career on the trophy cabinet. The 23-year-old from Sesto Pusteria is truly unstoppable, he has suffered only six defeats in the last twelve months and has not lost a match since the final of the Beijing ATP 500 last October (when a deluxe version of Carlos Alcaraz prevailed in three after an extraordinary battle).
Everyone is wondering how Jannik can be stopped right now, but no one has found the answer yet. The current world number 2 Sascha Zverev came out of the AO final with broken bones, in which he did not win a single set and in which he never gave the feeling of being able to create problems for his amazing opponent.

Meanwhile, the Italian broadcaster Super Tennis interviewed Andreas Schonegger the first coach of the current world number 1.
"Every day with him was a lot of fun because he liked to come to the net often, jump and have fun. You could already see at the time that he had talent, which is why he started doing small tournaments with his hat and red hair" said Schonegger.
"Even at that age he was able to achieve good results, even if he didn't even know how to count points. Many times it was me who had to tell him that he had won the match and that he could go and shake hands with his opponent" - he added.
