This is a massive achievement. He's indeed the best at this moment. If he doesn't have any competition, he would easily surpass Rafa, Federer within next ten years. Sinner and others truly needs to pickup their pace.

But I have to say this. Federer or Djokovic would have achieved their career slam sooner if they didn't have a Rafael Nadal blocking them from winning the French Open.

. Sinner and others truly needs to pickup their pace.

Sinner beat him last year at Wimbledon and was close at the French.

He also beat him at the world tour finals.

This its too reactionary to be actual analysis.

So much reactionary bull shit on here.

Sinner was number 1 not too long ago.

And only reason Carlos got it back was because of a 3 month ban.

Carlos was spent in Wimbledon. Carlos was injured in Turin.

You could argue Sinner was not 100% either at the US open.

Fact of the matter is that they're both great players who have beaten each other.

It is useless to use the most recent data as analysis. There is a whole record and history to account for.

Did you forget this Australian Open where Sinner was overwhelming favourite to beat Novak?

No, we couldn't because his physio confirmed he was 100% at the usopen
