In a recent ATP Tour video, Jannik Sinner tackled a series of rapid-fire questions, including the hotly debated topic of the GOAT in tennis. With refreshing honesty, the Italian star named Roger Federer as his choice for the greatest of all time, putting aside Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
Sinner, who has had an exceptional 2024 season with 55 wins in 60 matches, clinched his first Grand Slam titles and reached the top of the world rankings. Carlos Alcaraz, who has also made headlines with his victories at Roland Garros and Wimbledon, is his main rival. With the Big Three of Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic stepping back, the future of tennis looks bright with these rising stars.
In the same interview, Sinner also shared some fun insights about his tourmates. He praised Hubert Hurkacz as the friendliest player and Gael Monfils as the funniest in the locker room. On the flip side, he admitted a particular dislike for Aljaz Bedene, noting their challenging matches and expressing relief at Bedene’s retirement.
Sinner also mentioned that Frances Tiafoe talks the most on court and called Roberto Bautista Agut the most underrated player on tour.
