五个重要原因为何杨尼克·西纳可能会成为新的世界第一

随着杨尼克·西纳在印第安维尔斯大师赛中以令人印象深刻的方式开启他的加速器，很难不相信我们正在观看世界上最好的球员。

西纳在实时ATP排名中升至世界第二，但诺瓦克·德约科维奇在加利福尼亚的早期出局将助长人们相信他在顶峰的日子即将结束。
接替德约科维奇成为男子网球新国王的竞赛现在开始了，而西纳正成为夺冠的最爱。

卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯在卫冕他的印第安维尔斯冠军时的出色表现，看起来很可能成为西纳最主要的对手，但

这里有五个重要原因，为什么西纳正在从群体中脱颖而出，成为新的不败记录
西纳击败斯特鲁夫，将他的不败记录延伸到17场比赛，包括他在澳大利亚公开赛的突破性胜利在内，这一连胜还包括他在鹿特丹赢得ATP500冠军。
西纳现在已经创下了开放时代以来任何意大利人在ATP级别最长连胜纪录的新纪录，但正是他获胜的方式，增强了人们相信他现在正在打世界上最好网球的信念。

德约科维奇的衰落
西纳在最近四场比赛中赢得了对战德约科维奇的三场，这些都是在高调的比赛中。
德约科维奇在他职业生涯的这个阶段采取了减少赛程，但他在对阵西纳的三场败绩中都是全力以赴的，这些比赛发生在ATP总决赛、戴维斯杯半决赛和澳大利亚公开赛的四强赛中。

西纳在场地后方的重击已经在这些比赛中将德约科维奇击退，这表明他可能是结束塞尔维亚人在游戏顶端统治的人。

看来很明显，德约科维奇正在努力保持他的卓越水平，这在他将庆祝他的第37个生日的一年中是完全可以预测的。

我们可能还没有到达德约科维奇赢得大型赛事的时代的终结，但看起来他的十年霸权可能并未结束。
发球提升
西纳的教练团队，在极受尊敬的达伦·卡希尔的带领下，为将他的发球变成一大武器所做的努力值得极大的赞扬。

他们对发球前的手臂位置以及发球前的脚部位置进行了重大技术改变。
西纳在赛季中期开始使用了一种新的发球动作，它被证明是高度有效的，前英国第一格雷格·鲁塞斯基对这些修改印象深刻。

“他和达伦[卡希尔]一起重新设计了发球，这是非常非常难做到的事情，”鲁塞斯基对ATPTour.com说。

“我非常印象深刻；整个团队都对他做了出色的工作。而这一切都始于对发球、身体、过渡、增加切割和其他元素的改变。

“这些还不是100%自然，但随着时间的推移它们只会变得更好，因为他是那种会投入工作的人。

“他让自己的身形变得更加苗条。他愿意偶尔加入切割球，向前移动。这只是一种心态。

“每一边都没有真正的弱点。而且我认为，随着他越来越习惯于以他从后场拥有的火力向前过渡，他的选球已经有所改善。”

信心转变
赢得胜利能够孕育信心，我们每次看到西纳走上球场时都能看到这种神奇的质量。

他去年11月在戴维斯杯上战胜德约科维奇可能是这位才华横溢的年轻球员相信他可以用他改造后的发球和越来越有力的正手击败最好的球员的时刻。

在他对阵斯特鲁夫的比赛中，有几个时刻他可能会感到一些压力，但他用强大的发球和重锤般的正手打出了困境，似乎对手无法抵挡。

“我目前正以信心打球，但另一方面，我非常小心，因为比赛可以很快发生变化，”西纳说。“如果他在第二盘4-3时破我的发球，变成4-4，那么比赛又回到了起点。所以我必须小心。所以，我认为就是这样。”

恐惧因素
ATP巡回赛上的其他选手现在开始害怕西纳了。

他还没有达到费德勒、纳达尔和德约科维奇在他们最好的时候所拥有的光环，但现在有一种感觉，他正以比其他人高出几个层次的水平打球，包括德约科维奇。

目前看来，让西纳出现失误似乎是一项艰巨的任务，因为他似乎在他的构成中没有弱点。

说实在的，我昨天编译的时候也找了半天，实在是找不到就打算蒙混过关，问题来了，读者能从在文中找到第五个原因吗？

Five big reasons why Jannik Sinner could be hailed as the new world No 1
Story by Kevin Palmer • 2h
As Jannik Sinner has turned on his afterburners in impressive fashion at the Indian Wells Masters, it was hard not to believe we were watching the best player in the world.

Sinner is up to world No 2 in the live ATP rankings, but Novak Djokovic’s early demise in California will fuel the belief that his days at the top are coming to an end.
The race to succeed Djokovic as the new king of men’s tennis is now on and Sinner is emerging as the favourite to take his crown.

Carlos Alcaraz’s impressive performance in the defence of his Indian Wells title and he looks likely to be Sinner’s most prominent rival, but

Here are five big reasons why Sinner is emerging from the pack as the new

UNBEATEN RECORD
Sinner’s win over Struff stretched his unbeaten record to 17 matches, with his breakthrough victory at the Australian Open included in a run that also saw him with the ATP 500 title in Rotterdam.
Sinner has now set a new record for the longest winning streak at ATP level of any Italian in the open era, yet it is the manner of his victories that is fuelling the belief that he is playing the best tennis in the world right now.

DJOKOVIC’S DECLINE
Sinner has won three of his last four matches against Djokovic and they have all come in high-profile contests.
Djokovic is playing a reduced schedule at this stage of his career, yet he was fully committed in his three defeats against Sinner that came in the ATP Finals, the Davis Cup semi-finals and the last four clash at the Australian Open.

Sinner’s big hitting from the back of the court has rocked Djokovic onto the back foot in those contests and suggests he could be the man to end the Serbian’s reign at the top of the game.

It also seems clear that Djokovic is struggling to maintain his levels of excellence and that is entirely predictable in a year when he will toast his 37th birthday.

We may not have reached the end of Djokovic’s era of winning major tournaments, but it seems his decade of dominance may not be over.
SERVE IMPROVEMENTS
Sinner’s coaching team, led by the hugely respected Darren Cahill, deserve so much credit for turning his serve into a huge weapon.

They have made big technical changes to the position of his arm prior to serving and also his foot position has changed prior to delivering the serve.
Sinner started to use a new service motion midway through the season and it has proved to be highly effective, with former British No 1 Greg Rusedski impressed by the modifications.

“He retooled the serve with Darren [Cahill] and that’s something very, very difficult to do,” Rusedski told ATPTour.com.

“I’ve been super impressed; the whole team has done a fantastic job with him. And it all started with making a change to the serve, the body, transitioning, adding slice and other elements.

“They’re still not 100 per cent natural, but they’re only going to get better with time because he’s one of those guys who is going to put in the work.

“He got himself in better shape because he’s gotten a little bit leaner. He’s willing to add in a slice once in a while, transition forward. It’s just a mindset.

“There’s no real weakness on each side. And I think the more comfortable he gets with transitioning forward with the firepower he has from the back his shot selection has improved.”

CONFIDENCE SHIFT
Winning breeds confidence and we are seeing that magical commodity every time Sinner takes to the court.

His Davis Cup win over Djokovic last November may have been the moment when this brilliant young player believed he could beat the best with his remodelled serve and increasingly powerful forehand.

There were moments in his match against Struff when he could have felt some pressure, but he blasted his way out of trouble with big serves and sledgehammer forehands that appeared to be too much for the opposition to repel.

“I’m playing with confidence at the moment, but in the other way, I’m very careful because the match can change very fast,” said Sinner. “If he breaks me second set on 4-3, going 4-4, then it starts again from zero. So I have to be careful. So yeah, I think that’s it.”

FEAR FACTOR
The rest of the ATP Tour are now fearful of Sinner.

He doesn’t have the aura Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic had when they were at their best just yet, but there is a sense that he is playing at a level that is a few steps ahead of the rest right now, including Djokovic.

Knocking Sinner out of his stride appears to be a tough task right now as he doesn’t appear to have a weak spot in his make-up.
