After the victory at the Australian Open, Rotterdam, Miami, Halle, Cincinnati and US Open, Jannik Sinner also triumphed at the Shanghai Rolex Masters, after a great match played against Novak Djokovic.

A success that certifies once again the level reached by the Italian tennis player, who on cement seems to have no rivals. It is precisely on this surface that Jannik is demonstrating a truly unparalleled supremacy.

Sinner is in fact the third player to win the AO and the US Open, as well as more than 3 ATP Masters 1000 events on hard courts in a season, after Roger Federer (2006) and Novak Djokovic (2011, 15). The Italian is the youngest among these champions to succeed in this amazing streak.

Regarding the ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, the 23-year-old is the first player in a long time to win three tournaments in the same season. The last to achieve this feat was another alien. That season Rafael Nadal, who announced his retirement from tennis a few days ago, won as many as 5.

"Hello everyone. First of all, I want to congratulate Novak for the incredible tennis he played this week. Congratulations also to your team. I know someone from your team too! I wish you the best for this end of the season and for the goals you can still achieve in the future, also here in Shanghai next year. Thanks also to my team for the enormous support. We are maturing as a team day by day, it's nice to be here with you. I aim to return next year to Shanghai to try to defend the title," said Sinner in the award ceremony.
