Jannik Sinner hailed as the ‘new Novak Djokovic’ after stunning Wimbledon win
Jannik Sinner has been hailed as the ‘new Novak Djokovic’ after retaining his Wimbledon title with an impressive win over Alexander Zverev.
Sinner became only the tenth man in history to win back-to-back Wimbledon titles with a 6-7 7-6 6-3 6-4 victory over new world number two Zverev.
‘By winning today, Jannik is getting his 100th win at Grand Slam level,’ former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli said on BBC Radio 5 Live. ‘I think we have seen the new Novak for the next 10-15 years.
‘The way he is able to weather the storm when he had to, come up with an extraordinary shot when he had to, it reminds me so much of Novak Djokovic.’
Former British number one Tim Henman added: ‘A worthy champion, an incredible defence of his title. As the great players do, they find the way to get the win.
‘Sinner has got better and better as he’s gone on through this tournament. His performance in the semi-final against Djokovic and today have been truly world class.’
