I respect the fact that he knows how to win and is one of the few focused players in the current era.

Besides that, I don't find him nor his game that interesting to watch, so I voted indifferent.
 
Indifferent, but I respect the level of play and the results he brought to the table this year. I like him better than Z, Tsitsipas and co.
That being said, as Jannik appears to be a quiet, introvert, humble (it seems), cool and collected individual, it would be appreciated if most of his fans could be a bit more like him, instead of wanting everyone to swallow some Jannik Sinner Kool-aid all the damn time. I respect Sinner's game, but I don't need it to have it shoved it down my throat all the time. Same goes for premature comparisons with titans like Fed 2006 or Joker 2011, or claims about future GOAThood. He had a really really great season, he's probably a future ATG, that's cool, let's leave it at that for now.

Comparisons in sport are part of the game.
Sinner is the player of the moment and it is absolutely normal that we talk about him by analyzing his situation at 360 degrees.
Much less understandable is the fact that this space dedicated to current affairs is infested with threads and comments with the usual comparisons between the big three, i.e. topics that are now completely anachronistic and should be placed in the old glories section.

Some should simply accept that the era of the big three is behind us, now it's Sinneraz time.

But I realize that inconsistency abounds, in the series preaching good and breeding evil.

No. His game is ugly. His hair is ugly. His fans are annoying and insecure (see TTW's Sinner fans). Tennis is in an ugly place with him on top.

Outside of TTW, do not particularly see that Sinner has any significant ardent fan support in the real world. Fan reception in NYC was lukewarm at best.

The huge exception of course is in Italy but that is a result of Italy having had a long line of mugs for 50 years.
 
He's the first AI generated tennis player. Unfortunately the algorithm based his appearance on a praying mantis.

Surely last year he was chosen as the fan's favorite player because in that survey he only involved fans from Italy.

If you want, I'll bring you that post from the Latin American part of Facebook where on the topic of Sinneraz I was surprised by how the vast majority of those who commented (and I'm talking about a hundred people) preferred Sinner to Alcaraz.

Sinner with his victories is broadening the horizons of cheering, it is already a global phenomenon, and as an Italian I can certainly perceive it, given that the more time passes the more I feel it as a phenomenon that transcends the borders of its own country, moving away from our context.
Profiles like Sinner are destined to have no flags.

Simply put, and the bottom line is, some people really struggle to share their preferences with those of the masses, consequently if they don't like a certain player they try to convince themselves that this is also the case for the vast majority of people.
But I have news, it doesn't work like that.

Throughout the World, he'll be about as popular as Lendl was. Global phenomenon? You're delusional. I don't dislike him, seems like a nice guy, but he isn't even Top 50 all time with slam wins.

But what does it mean?

He's 23 years old, what should he already be one of the most successful players in history?

At the same age Djokovic had one slam less than him, and we are talking about the most successful player of all.

He just started to dominate.
Federer began to dominate (2004) at the same age as the current Sinner, Djokovic a year late, Nadal who was more precocious than the players mentioned above had his first real season as a dominator in 2008 at the age of 22.
Alcaraz is another precocious phenomenon. Although he was already number 1 at the end of the year, he has never dominated a single season.

In his age 23 season, Sinner obtained 8 titles, 6 big titles including 2 slams, a 71-6 seasonal record, undisputed dominance in the ATP rankings.
Tell me how many players at 23 or younger could boast a single season like Sinner's 2024.
Trust me you will find few.

Given that on the basis of cosmic nothingness in a thread reference is made to the presumed indifference that the Italian player arouses towards fans from all over the world, let's see what comes out in a survey within a forum that can in its own small way act as a thermometer on the kind of popularity that Sinner has.
Obviously the question is not only addressed to the player side with the associated gameplay style, but covers both the player and the character.
But here too I would like to reiterate that last year Sinner was elected favorite player by fans all over the world according to the annual awards that the ATP has been establishing for several years now.

The biggest annoyance with people who wont stop talking is that they start yapping again just the second you thought they are finally done for real. Your thread starting frequency really reminds me of that.

On Sinner, i dont like him. He plays insane tennis, but hes a fake. And his fans are annoying so my opinion about him gets even worse due to psychological contaminaiton.

The more enemies the more honor.
 
The users who say they hate some Sinner fans are the same ones who regularly fill the forum accusing him of being a drug addict, and specifically a conscious drug addict, a cheater with his back covered.

LOL

And then they also expect a type of condescending attitude from their fans.

But do a thorough soul-searching before invoking moderate opinions.

With your accusations you make me enjoy this moment of his even more where he put the entire circuit in check.
 
I been a believer since 2022. Kept telling people, look out for this guy, he’s the real deal.

I have to boast about this because I’ve never been more right about anything in my life lmao

Also I love the guy, he’s a pure gentleman

I appreciate your feedback.

My feelings are that Nick doesn't play defense well enough to win a slam.

He doesn't move like Sinner, who is actually pretty agile for a tall guy.

You could give him the mindset of Rafa and it would not make a difference at this point.

Nick needed to develop that defensive game years ago.

His window for winning a slam has closed.

Yes, I definitely think now his best days in tennis are behind him. But the 19-year-old who burst onto the scenes against Rafa at Wimbledon could have taken a different path. That's true of a lot of players, but his talent was higher than most.

His talent is not higher than Zverev/Medvedev/Thiem/Nishikori/Dimitrov/Raonic at all.

Tsitsipas barely behind him.

I don't know. What he accomplished at Wimbledon was still pretty astonishing, even with the soft draw. #couch2final

I would rank him higher than all but Zverev & Tsitsipas and maybe Raonic. Young Zverev lacked little but that fateful volley sticks out in mind all these later. Tsitsipas was perhaps physically lacking. But young Kyrgios taking out Nadal at Wimbledon was one of the most self-possessed performances I've seen from an up-and-coming player against one of the Big 3. He knew he could win that match.

He reached semis. He was given a bye.

Its not like he beat someone in semis.

Why not Nishikori? Kei is in fact far more talented than Raonic.

He even made the list of best 128 players of all time by statistics.

Carrot is about as popular as early stage Lendl except he’s not playing a villian he’s just boring.

I truely dislike him to a point that I don’t watch his matches.
I simply find his game extremely boring and his fans are the worst. On top of that he’s clearly a doper.

Like him or not, he’s obviously not “clearly“ an intentional “doper“ as neither ITIA nor WADA took issue with his accidental story.

I like Sinner but I like Alcaraz more.

I actually like the Sinner fanbase as well. They don’t take the game too seriously like that other fanbase.

DACH is the trendy parlance for German speaking Europe, comprising Germany (Deutschland), Austria, and Switzerland (Confœderatio Helvetica); I added the '+' to indicate a greater degree of accuracy to the concept, by excluding the parts of Switzerland that are predominately French or Italian and incorporating Liechtenstein and South Tyrol.
 
How do you not like this guy? Humble, skilled, doesn’t grunt on every shot (or any). Certainly he could have gone without the doping scandal. He has also been incredibly consistent in all tournaments.
