The finals Grand Slam of the year is almost coming to an end and we are very close to find out who is finally going to win the Grand Slam in New York this season. There have already been a lot of great matches and battles where even some of the top players have also been eliminated from the tournament. However we still have some top performers still alive in this contest.

One of the players we all have been looking forward to this season is World number one Jannik Sinner who has been having one of his best seasons so far and is only two wins away from another Grand Slam title this season. The Italain will be competing against Jack Draper and looks very focused on winning his second Grand Slam title of his career and keep himself on the top of the rankings. 

Panatta makes a bold remark

There is no doubt that Sinner has been having a dream season so far, and started it off with a beating the World class Novak Djokovic in the semi finals in the Australian Open. In fact this has also led to a lot of comparisons between the Italian and the Serbian legend especially by Italian tennis legend Adriano Panatta who has also compared the two players saying " Sinner seemed to me to be the first Tyson , the best one. He has the mentality of playing and dominating. He says: 'I'll make the match,' he never waits but always pushes. This is the big difference between him and the others, a bit like Alcaraz does when he's in shape."

This was not all as Panatta also went on to make a bold remark during his statement as well where he has clearly stated " In fact the Spaniard is the only one who can beat him. I don't think Djokovic could beat him, by now, especially in the best of five sets. " Though this remark might come with a little biasness knowing Sinner is Panatta's compatriot we cannot ignore the fact that he has played much better than the Serbian legend.
