I think he will have a greater career than Bjorn Borg given his versatility
Sinner joins Kuerten in number of weeks at No. 1 and becomes 13th in the all-time rankings

He could even surpass Sampras imo . Only the big3 and Carlos will stand in front of him when all is said and done I think. (disclaimer again: barring major injury)

He’s more versatile than Sampras, and I think he will win more hardcourt majors than him, and surely clay court. Grass court, I highly doubt it but he will win a decent amount

Yeah 14 seems very manageable plus he will rack many other accolades and as you said he's better on clay.

Sampras hasn’t even been to a Roland Garros final.

so as many as times he tested positive to doping!Djokovic at the same age as the current Sinner (so about 23 and 7 months) had totalled weeks at number 1=

yes giving it is the miracle that he played ALL RG in his slam winning years. 18 consecutive seasons from 05 to 2022!

He pulled out injured in 2016. Also it doesn’t change much to what I say. You cannot maintain No.1 ranking with RG alone. If you miss large parts of the season it will be tough to accumulate many weeks at No.1. Look at 2009 for instance, he doesn’t get injured he will keep the No.1 way into 2011 and has three consecutive YE1 (will then have surpassed Federer in that stat).
BorgTheGOAT
G.O.A.T.
Strange argument given that Borg was literally the most versatile player in the OE. If he Will have a greater career than Borg then because Borg retired early. Sinner will become 25 this season, at that age Borg had 11 slams while only playing 3.

Lendl was among the most disciplined players ever. He was the first to have a comprehensive fitness abd diet regime (he never ate red meat for 10 years), he did get up at 5am every morning, he built himself an own grass court in his house to practice for Wimbledon. Sampras himself said that he learnt to be disciplined when he visited Lendl at his home for some days.
I get that Jannik is disciplined as well but Lendl is literally the worst comparison you could have chosen.

Goes to show he uses up all his energy to win on clay! Any multicellular organism can comprehend that exerting yourself entirely in part of the year is detrimental for the rest!

he overplay the clay playing master, barca, RG year after year. clay has longest rallies. yet he played it all all the time!
other slams he missed even just for scheduling reasons. and RG is is only high % winning slam! he NEVER missed it.
so to say that rafa missed so many slams and used his win% in played and won slams is very highly misleading! he would not win many more slams, if at all, if he played those others, low % slams! he was not favorite at any of them!
he played other slams almost only when he was in best form and healthy and RG ALWAYS, yet here is his W%:
AO: 2/18 (11%)
RG: 14/19 (74%)
W: 2/15 (13%)
USO: 4/16 (25%)
