Jannik Sinner: Mardy Fish skeptical about the'Azure, his words cause discussion

Jannik Sinner won against Gabriel Diallo in Cincinnati his 23rd consecutive victory on concrete, record numbers that propel him among the great tennis legends of the past. According to a statistic reported by TNT Sports, l’Azzurro won 94.8% of matches played on fast courts in 2024, with 55 wins and only 3 losses, and this season he is on a 95% winning streak (38-2): numbers that put him third all-time behind only Roger Federer, dominant in 2005 and 2006.

The statistic, however, did not convince former U.S. tennis player Mardy Fish, who on social media downgraded the Blue: “Now compare the tennis players Roger has faced to those who have faced Sinner…I hang up and listen”.

A skeptical stance that sparked a storm on social media between those who agree with him, and those who consider him just a hater of the Blue’Blue.

Fueling the controversy even more was Mardy Fish’s dry response to a provocative question from a fan: “Am I right when I say that Roger Federer has never been caught using steroids, unlike this guy”. “You are right”, commented Fish, who disguised himself as Nick Kyrgios for a day by poking the world number one about the Clostebol case, which has long since been cleared up and closed.
