There is still room to analyze what happened in 2025a season that continues to spark discussion among insiders and former protagonists. Among these there is Andy Roddickformer world number one, who focused in particular on Jannik Sinner’s playing style. His words leave no room for interpretation:
“For me Sinner is automatically in the narrow circle of best ball hitters of all time. Who is in that group? Andre Agassi? Lindsay Davenport? Jannik is there. Even before talking about spin, variety or tactical solutions, its impact comes from something more essential. He doesn’t play to annoy or suffocate his opponent: he simply overpowers you“.
For Roddick, the South Tyrolean’s was a season “incredible“also in light of three month suspension linked to the story Clostebol. A performance that is exceptional: “It’s totally crazy what he did, it’s absurd“, underlined the former US champion.
According to Roddick, only one player has demonstrated that he has the right countermeasures for Italian tennis: Carlos Alcaraz. “He is the only one who manages to free himself from that grip, from that ‘bear hug’, from the vice once he is in it.”he concluded, highlighting how the Spaniard remains the only real opponent capable of breaking the technical and mental dominance imposed by Sinner.
