Andy Roddick has shared his admiration for Jannik Sinner’s impressive victory at the 2024 ATP Finals, calling his journey “absurd” due to the flawless nature of his performance. Roddick, who is a former world No. 1, praised Sinner’s nearly error-free play and the consistent aggressiveness he displayed throughout the tournament. In particular, he compared Sinner’s dominance to that of Rafael Nadal during his prime on clay, specifically referencing Nadal’s near-perfect performance at the 2010 Monte Carlo Masters.
Roddick noted that Sinner has completely transformed from the player he was a few years ago, dispelling early concerns about his serve and physicality. The Italian’s powerful and controlled game now makes him a formidable force in men’s tennis, with Roddick describing his play as exceptional. He pointed out that this victory at the ATP Finals capped off a remarkable season for Sinner, who has ascended to world No. 2 and has been on a dominant winning streak.
Roddick’s commentary on Sinner’s success shows a deep respect for his development, as well as his excitement for the future of the young Italian, whose performances have been increasingly compared to some of the sport’s all-time greats.
