Tim Henman has shared the one thing that he loved about Jannik Sinner after he had beaten Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open.
Previously Great Britain’s number one player, Henman was speaking to Eurosport.
So, what has Henman said that he loved so much about Sinner? Let’s take a closer look…
What Tim Henman loved about Jannik Sinner during win over Novak Djokovic
The Italian is through to his first-ever Grand Slam final with a comprehensive win over the world’s best player.
He won in four sets, claiming a 6-1, 6-2, 6-7, 6-3 victory against the man who has won this competition 10 times.
After the match, Henman said on air that he absolutely loved something that Sinner did after the win.
He told Eurosport: “I love the way he reacted after winning because there was no massive celebration.
“I think he views this as part of the journey. Yes, he’s through to the final but he wants to win his first slam.”
Sinner will take confidence from Djokovic win
The Italian player has to be seeing this as a huge chance to finally get over the line and win a Grand Slam title.
With Djokovic now knocked out and Carlos Alcaraz also gone, Sinner must view this as his time.
At 22, Sinner is going to be around for some time but once he wins one major tournament, more could follow.
In our view, Henman has a great point about the reaction that Sinner did or didn’t display after beating Djokovic.
He seemed so focused and driven that as Henman says it felt almost as though he expected to win.
Now, the final on Sunday feels like it could be his time and after blowing Djokovic away, it’d be hard to back against him winning.
