Jannik Sinner has definitely come out into the open, in this extremely significant season for him as for men’s tennis. The Italian is playing a crazy season, which has seen him triumph in six tournaments, among which obviously the Australian Open and the US Open stand out, the first two Slams of his career.
According to the ATP website, Sinner, from January to today, can boast truly exceptional numbers: best return, the most effective forehand, the most powerful and fastest backhand and the highest point conversion rate.
Starting precisely from the forehand, the 23-year-old can boast incredible statistics. The speed of this shot, according to the data, is about five times higher than that of his opponents. Furthermore, his ball is two centimeters lower above the net than his colleagues.
The backhand, the shot he is probably most comfortable with, translates into truly surreal numbers. Sinner is capable of hitting the ball with an average of seven miles faster than all the tennis players on the men’s Tour. When he is on the offensive phase, the two-time Grand Slam champion wins 73% of the points.
Another strength that many recognize in Jannik is his skill in the defensive phase. In addition to the quality of the responses to the powerful serves of his rivals, the Italian champion often manages to convert from the defensive phase to the offensive phase, actions that would be unthinkable for almost the entire Tour. The Italian, thanks to his skills, is considered by many as the natural heir to Novak Djokovic.

Jannik has also triumphed at the Miami Open and Cincinnati Open, which are added to the National Bank Open in Toronto, won last year (which makes 3 ATP Masters 1000 in his career). These victories, in addition to those in Rotterdam and Halle, have allowed the Italian tennis player to accumulate a very high score in the ATP ranking, which currently sees him ahead by over four thousand points from his most accredited pursuers: Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz.
In the meantime, Jannik Sinner has been busy as an ambassador for the volunteer team for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. The Italian, after having supported his national teammates in the Davis Cup in Bologna, proposed himself in at the press conference as a possible torchbearer for an event that is particularly close to his heart.
