Jannik Sinner: Novak Djokovic’s message arrives

Former number one Novak Djokovic è congratulated his successor on the throne of world tennis, Jannik Sinner. The Italian tennis player, who reached the semifinals at Roland Garros, bypassed the Serbian star, who was forced to forfeit after the early rounds due to a knee injury. Nole, who è been world number one for 428 weeks in his career, paid tribute to the young king on Instagram.

"You deserve to be world number one, bravo Jannik. Congratulations on a well-deserved first place in the tennis world", Djokovic wrote.

Nole will miss the upcoming Wimbledon tournament and possibly the Olympics: his goal è to be back in shape for the last tournaments of the season, starting with the US Open.

In addition to Djokovic many tennis greats, from the present and the past, congratulated Jannik. Among them was Agassi: "I want to congratulate you on becoming the number one tennis player in the world. This è an extraordinary achievement and I think there is no one who deserves it more than you. If the’universe had a tennis tournament, Earth would choose you".
