‘Novak Djokovic Is Not Playing’- Martina Navratilova Reacts to Jannik Sinner Being Hailed as the Best

Another tournament and another final for Jannik Sinner as he stands just one step behind clinching the third title for this season. For the ones who are regularly following the trail of the young Italian, it is not at all necessary to shine a scorecard. Along with snatching titles from the firm grip of top players like Novak Djokovic, one thing that outshines Sinner is his consistency.

While the Italian tennis sensation is capturing headlines with his impressive performances on the court, fans eagerly anticipate his next victory. Amid the rhythm of his dominance, tennis pros like Martina Navratilova and Prakash Amritraj sparked discussions about a surprising topic. “Is Sinner the best player in the world right now?” asked Amritraj, in a recent Tennis TV broadcast.

Navratilova stepped forward to share her views on the topic, acknowledging Novak Djokovic’s absence from recent tournaments. “Novak Djokovic is not playing, and unfortunately for us, and yes, [Sinner]’s been the most consistent and his average day is better than everybody else’s average day at the moment. He’s taking it to a whole new level,” she noted.

While Sinner’s dominance on the court has forced the spotlight onto him, Djokovic’s limited participation has left fans questioning his current position in the tennis world. After his exit from the Australian Open and Indian Wells, fans now consider Sinner as a strong competitor for the upcoming clay court season. Along with an increase in his victory count, the young Italian also appears to be getting mentally strong.

Soon after securing a massive straight-set win over Daniil Medvedev in the semi-finals, Jannik Sinner mentioned the fact that he notes changes in himself. Elaborating on the depth of the modifications, he explained how it is now easy for him to tackle situations that once stressed him out.

“Different player, different person. Sometimes, you know I think back and I remember the night before the final. I couldn’t sleep, I was sweating during the night and now I handle the situation much, much better,” Sinner said, expressing pride in the changes that he sees within himself on the journey of his growth.

As the tennis star continues his run for the title in Miami, it still remains to be seen if he will surpass Grigor Dimitrov to add one more title to his rapidly growing portfolio.
