Former American Tennis player Steve Johnson has opined that Jannik Sinner’s recent form is absolutely insane. Sinner completed the Sunshine Double as he defeated Jiri Lehecka in straight sets (6-4, 6-4) to win the Miami Open. In doing so, Sinner became the eighth man to complete the ‘Sunshine Double’.

Sinner had recently won the Indian Wells, which was his maiden title. With this win, Sinner became the first since the great Roger Federer in 2017 to complete the Sunshine Double. The Italian extended his record to 34 consecutive sets won at the ATP Masters 1000 level.

“It cannot go understated his dominance the last month,” said Johnson on Nothing Major.

“34 straight sets, whatever the number is.

“That is absolutely insane.

“Not to have one five-minute walkabout mentally, have one bad service game to cost you a set, to get to a breaker and shank two forehands.

“It is absolutely insane, the level that he is able to get to. I think it was really impressive. There are really no other words to say.”

Johnson reckons Sinner and his rival Carlos Alcaraz are way ahead of other ATP players.

“We have two guys in Carlos [Alcaraz] and Jannik [Sinner] who are better than everyone else, and when one guy stumbles, the other guy just does not skip a beat,” said Johnson.

“There have only been a couple of times where both guys have been in the tournament over the last two or three years where they have not won it.”

Johnson was impressed with Sinner’s level in Indian Wells and the Miami Open.

“Sinner, from start to finish, from Indian Wells to Miami now,” he said.

“I can’t say I have never seen anything like it, but to go through the Sunshine Double, to be only the eighth man to do it, and to do it without losing a set is incomprehensible to some degree.”

Sinner and Alcaraz will next compete at the Monte Carlo Masters.
