Jannik Sinner, the'former tennis player torn: "Incomprehensible what he did"

Jannik Sinner’s double triumph in Indian Wells and Miami is still making the tennis world debate. The Azure did something no one had been able to accomplish in the past: getting the Sunshine Double without losing a single set in either tournament.

At the ‘Nothing Major’ podcast, former U.S. tennis player Steve Johnson pointed out the Azure’s feat: “You can’t underestimate his dominance over the last month. 34 consecutive sets won in the Masters 1000, that’s absolutely insane.”

“To be able to pull off this feat you can’t afford to lose concentration for five minutes, a lost break and two missed forehands can cost you a set, and he didn’t miss. It’s absolutely incredible the level he was able to achieve. I think it was really impressive, incomprehensible.”

Sinner and Alcaraz are way ahead of the other tennis players: “We have two guys, Carlos and Jannik, who are better than everybody else, and when one of them stumbles, the other one doesn’t flinch at all. In the last two or three years, there have only been a couple of occasions when both players have entered the tournament without winning it. They’re absolutely dominant.”

Johnson still dwelt on Sinner: “I can’t say I’ve never seen anything like it, but to win the Sunshine Double, to be only the eighth man to do it, and to do it without losing a set is somewhat incomprehensible,” he reiterated.

Sinner has put the number one seed in Alcaraz in his sights: now the South Tyrolean is going after his first career victory in a major clay court tournament.
