Jannik Sinner equals Bjorn Borg and other tennis monsters
Jannik Sinner also proved his overwhelming supremacy on the circuit against De Minaur in his ATP Finals debut, and he is racking up numbers and records worthy of the sport's greatest. The latest statistic è particularly impressive: the Blue è became the fifth tennis player of all time to achieve 13 wins against top 10 opponents in multiple consecutive seasons.
Previously only Bjorn Borg (1977-79), Ivan Lendl (1980-82), Pete Sampras (1993-94) and Rafael Nadal (2008-09), other precocity champions from the past, had achieved this record.
Sinner beat De Minaur in two sets 6-3, 6-4, dominating the match against the Australian already beaten several times in the past.
"About Jannik I can only say, as I know him personally and even though he kicked my butt 'seven times, that he è a great guy. We have shared many moments together on the field with him and his team. I have a lot of respect for him", De Minaur said.
