21-Year-Old Italian Tennis Prodigy Issues Warning to Novak Djokovic as He Oozes Confidence in His Ability to Overpower the Defending Champion

Jannik Sinner has so far had a wonderful campaign at Wimbledon this year. The 21-year-old Italian prodigy has disappointed in the first two grand slams of the year, having not been able to advance to the latter stages of both events. However, he has found his touch on his favorite surface and has reached the semi-finals of a grand slam for the first time. Furthermore, this is the first time he has broken into the top 8 in the ATP rankings. Ahead of his quarterfinal match, he surprised everyone by issuing a warning to one of the GOATs of the sport, Novak Djokovic.

However great the achievement of breaking into the top 8 of the world rankings might be, Sinner wouldn’t be too pleased with himself unless and until he wins the Wimbledon Championships. But that is definitely not going to be easy. Because between him and the trophy stands the monumental task of defeating the world no.2, Novak Djokovic.

Jannik Sinner’s strategy and warning to Novak Djokovic

No tennis fan could have forgotten the epic last year’s five-set battle between Sinner and Djokovic. Most people thought Sinner had it but Djokovic, like only he can do, mounted an improbable comeback coming from two sets down to easily brush aside Sinner. However, Sinner claims that he is a different player this year. He has found a lot of confidence in the fact that he is in the top 8 now.

Sinner says his serving, his slices, his variety – everything has improved. In an interview with Eurosport, he said, “?am going to watch [last year?s quarter-final], knowing that it is going to be a completely different match, because I am different but I feel like also he has improved,? ?I feel that I’m serving better at the moment and also the confidence level is higher.

Sinner definitely oozes confidence ahead of the all-important Novak Djokovic clash on Friday. He would do everything in his power to make sure he gets revenge for a painful defeat inflicted by Djokovic last Wimbledon.

Can Sinner exact revenge for last year’s heart-break?

Sinner’s got a perfect opportunity to exact revenge for a very painful loss that he had to endure during last year’s championships. He didn’t have the mental fortitude to get past Djokovic last time, despite possessing the necessary dexterity with the racquet. However, Sinner feels that he is mentally ready as well during this year’s Wimbledon and is looking forward to facing a ‘special player’ on a special court.
