Jannik Sinner is one of the most highly rated youngsters on tour. The Italian teenage sensation has reached his first Masters final at Miami Open 2021, where he will face Hubert Hurkacz in the finals. The 19-year old burst onto the scene last year, after he reached the quarterfinals of the French Open and lifted his first title at the Sofia Open.
Jannik Sinner drew his perfect player and included the traits he would love to see in it. Sinner chose John Isner’s serve to be included in his replica of a perfect player. The American’s serve is one of the most enviable ones on the tour, as his tall stature gives him some extra bounce. Isner has the ability to hit aces for fun, and is service games are almost unbreakable.
Jannik Sinner included traits of Djokovic, Federer and Nadal in his perfect player
Jannik Sinner picked Roger Federer’s forehand and stated that he also has an autograph of the Swiss maestro, along with a picture. For the backhand, he chose Novak Djokovic, who has been a master playing this shot. Backhands are of utmost importance during return games, and this is a reason why the Serbian is considered one of the greatest returners of all time.
Jannik Sinner picked Rafael Nadal’s volley for his perfect player and also wanted the mental strength of the Spaniard to be included in his replica. Nadal is one of the strongest athletes on tour, not only physically but also mentally. Often at times, it is more important to have yourself under control on-court and this is a trait that separates champions from ordinary players.
Jannik Sinner’s choice of forehand is questionable, as many players would have rather gone with Rafael Nadal’s powerful forehand. The Spaniard produces forehands from the top draw, and he puts up a spectacle on the clay courts, where he finishes off points ruthlessly.
