Jannik Sinner number one, Ivan Ljubicic makes a prediction

Ivan Ljubicic has no doubts about Jannik Sinner

During a speech to the microphones of "Sky Sports", former tennis player Ivan Ljubicic commented in no uncertain terms on the rise to the throne of Jannik Sinner, the new world number one after Novak Djokovic withdrew from Roland Garros. The former coach of Roger Federer, in addition, also commented on the chances of the South Tyrolean to confirm himself permanently at the top.

"By feeling I think he will be world number one for quite some time, not someone who will stay at the top for three weeks and then give way again. His tennis, his behavior and his commitment make it clear that he has all the cards to stay at the long top of the ATP Ranking" began the former Croatian tennis player.

"It's a historic moment for Italian and world tennis becauseè Jannik has more and more of a following and many kids are starting to play, taking their cue from what he represents. He's a reference point for all kids and he makes me happy because he's an absolute example not only on the court, but also off" added Roger Federer's former coach.

"Sinner’s strength è to make tough decisions while demonstrating great maturity. He has had some in recent years, think of the absence in the Davis Cup in Bologna. There had been a lot of controversy, but in fact his choice was very apt because he was able to close 2023 well and start 2024 even better. The renunciation of the Internazionali d'Italia è was another complicated moment and also in this his decision è was the right one. The very champions are seen in these things" Ivan Ljubicic commented.
