It’s been years in the making, but the Italian has moved beyond being just a young talent. Now, he’s arguably one of the two best players on the planet.

Even without that context, Sinner has made his mark. He reached all four Grand Slam finals this season and only lost out to Alcaraz at Roland-Garros and the US Open.

Despite his good relationship with Alcaraz, there must be part of Sinner that wishes he were standing alone at the top.

Jannik Sinner’s coach reflects on the 2025 campaign

Looking back at the past year, Vagnozzi highlighted the effort and dedication behind every result, saying their achievements were built on hard work more than anything else.

He praised not only his coaching staff but also Sinner himself, pointing out that the player’s attitude and willingness to learn were just as important as any other factor in their success.

“Best epilogue of an incredible season,” Vagnozzi said. “A year full of successes, but also complicated, with difficult moments … where the difference is made by those small, sometimes unnoticeable details.

“The truth is, in the most difficult moments, this team sticks even more together. Everyone tries to put a part of themselves in order to come out even stronger, driven by that obsession with IMPOSSIBLE perfection.”

“Bravo Jannik, who is the first to never want to be satisfied, but to want to improve. Great athlete and great man.”

“Thank you Jannik, and thank you whole team.”

Jannik Sinner’s Davis Cup absence explained

Despite an incredible campaign, Sinner opted against playing for Italy at the Davis Cup this year whilst his nation bid for a third-straight victory.

If they were to accomplish this feat, they’d be the first nation in 53 years to manage it.

And yet, the 24-year-old was unmoved, having explained the reasons behind his absence at length.

Sinner admitted: “It wasn’t an easy decision, but after Turin, the goal is to start off on the right foot in Australia.

“It doesn’t seem like it, but a week of preparation in that period can make a difference. We already won the Davis Cup in 2023 and 2024 and this time we decided like this with my team.”

Boris Becker asked tennis fans to give Sinner space after this decision, given that the four-time Grand Slam champion received some backlash from Italian media.

However, with the tennis schedule seemingly only increasing in volume, he cannot be blamed for finding time to rest wherever possible.
