Jannik Sinner, tennis number 1 until when? Richard Gasquet has no doubts

Jannik Sinner after Wimbledon 2025 is once more on top of the world, thanks to the extraordinary victory in the final over Carlos Alcaraz and a handful of new records that regarding his march in Grand Slam tournaments and the seasonal calendar, but also the points collected in the last year on the ATP circuit. It is a march that many colleagues, former colleagues and insiders say will not end easily or quickly. And so thinks Richard Gasquet, someone who knows the San Candido outfielder very well.

Gasquet has in fact retired from active tennis precisely after a losing match to Sinner, played at Roland Garros. And the Frenchman, meanwhile in Bari for the Hopman Cup, told ‘SuperTennis’ that he believes the South Tyrolean is ready to maintain these levels for the next decade, and perhaps beyond.

“I absolutely expected Sinner to be able to win at Wimbledon – Gasquet explained -We are talking about the best tennis player in the world, along with Carlos Alcaraz. He has an incredible mentality, and he is a true champion. Plus he is also a beautiful person, meeting him is always a pleasure as is watching his matches. He will stay at the top for the next 10 years, even 15. You will see”.

In addition, Gasquet indirectly thanked Sinner for giving him a retirement that, from his point of view, was perfect in the way it happened: “I ended my career against Jannik. Who is the No. 1 tennis player in the world. And I did it in Paris, at Roland Garros, on center court of one of the tournaments that the French love the most ever”.
