Roland Garros champion Morozova explained how Sinner is superior to Djokovic

1974 Roland Garros champion in doubles Olga Morozova explained in what professional qualities Italian Jannik Sinner has more potential than Serbian Novak Djokovic.

On Sunday, in the final of the US Open, Sinner, who received the 1st seed, beat the 12th racket of the world, American Taylor Fritz, with a score of 6:3, 6:4, 7:5. The Italian won his second Grand Slam singles title. He previously won the 2024 Australian Open.

— Sinner is very talented, he has excellent technique, amazing composure. He will win and hold first place in the world rankings for a very long time. Sinner’s rivalry with Alcaraz will brighten up world tennis. Yannick has many qualities that a high-level tennis player should have. He studies his opponent well and intuitively anticipates his techniques. He has the right technique to move around the court.

If you compare Sinner and Djokovic, they are completely different tennis players. In his youth, Djokovic was very temperamental, he didn’t even finish matches. But then, through discipline, he became a superstar. In terms of understanding the game, Sinner and Djokovic are on the same level. In terms of physics and technique, Sinner has more potential than Djokovic. Plus, Novak, at Sinner’s age, did not win as much as the Italian,” Morozova told Metaratings.ru.

Djokovic is 37 years old. He holds the record for the most weeks at number one in the ATP rankings. The Serbian is the fifth tennis player in history to win Olympic gold and all Grand Slam titles.
