Jannik Sinner recently won a jackpot! All thanks to his immense hard work and resilience. While the former tennis legends achieving the same feat showered their best wishes for this Italian rising star, a prominent name was missing from the list. While Djokovic chose to remain silent, Agassi and Federer reminded Sinner that he made “one heck of an achievement.”
The official X platform of the ATP Tour shared a clip, where many tennis legends including two world’s former number one congratulated Jannik Sinner for attaining the world’s number-one position in the ATP ranking recently. The video started with the 8 Grand Slam winner and former world’s number one Andre Agassi, who dropped his heartfelt wish for Sinner on his new achievement.
“Hey Jannik. Andre here. Let me be one of many to congratulate you on being the No. 1 tennis player in the world. That is one heck of an achievement. And I can’t think of anybody that deserves it more than you. here’s kind of a cool way to look at it. If the universe had a tennis tournament, Earth would pick you. How cool is that? Enjoy. Keep getting better. You’re awesome for the game”- said Agassi.
Then there was Roger Federer, who has earned a fair share of applause for retaining his world’s number-one position in tennis for 310 weeks with a record of 237 weeks at a stretch. This 20 Grand Slam winner also congratulated Sinner sharing how he found this status as one of his life’s ultimate achievements.
“Hey Jannik, many congratulations also from my side to become World No. 1. I think this is for me personally, maybe the ultimate achievement. And I’m sure you are incredibly happy and you should be so proud. I’m sure, also, Italy is loving you right now as they should being the first Italian player ever, to be World No. 1. It’s incredible. I couldn’t be happier for you. You’re a great person, great player, and I wish you only the best for the future, Jannik. Take care. I’ll see you soon. Bye”- said Federer.
Sinner’s recent achievement marks a great deal for his country as he is the first Italian to achieve this ATP ranking. However, with his rise to number one, Serbian Djokovic loses his old position. In fact, after Carlos Alcaraz Garfia won the Roland Garros tour this year, Djokovic shifted to the ATP ranking 3. Sinner entered the ATP’s ranking system in 2018 when he was just 16. Less than two years after that, Sinner reached the top 100. Now he presented himself as the first Italian to bag the ATP world ranking one.
On the other hand, intrigued fans noticed how almost all the world’s former number-one ATP stars featured in the video congratulated Sinner except for the Serb. From Boris Becker to Andy Murray, Daniil Medvedev, Andy Roddick, Gustavo Kuerten, and Lleyton Hewitt, all joined Agassi and Federer to wish Sinner but Novak, who was the last ATP no 1 before Sinner took his position.
Nevertheless, Sinner expressed his happiness in attaining this landmark position. He proudly spoke about the hard work that brought him this feat.
Jannik Sinner believes that his recent ATP feat is a “great result of work ethic”
After reaching the world’s number-one position, Sinner’s statement about his success showed his confidence and his ode to his hard work in his professional life.
“It represents a great result of work ethic. It was one of my goals for myself and my team this year. The most important goal is always to improve as a player and as a person, surrounding myself with great people. I think I can be very happy and pleased with what I am doing as well as my team, n the last period I’ve played some really good tennis. I’m very happy to be in this position”- said Sinner.
Nevertheless, Andre Agassi and Roger Federer’s wish for Jannik Sinner surely delighted Sinner’s fans. Despite Djokovic’s absence from the video, he must have congratulated the Italian rising star on his new achievement. In a nutshell, Sinner’s recent achievement screams the value of hard work and resilience in one’s life.
