Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner Clash at ATP Finals in Turin 2023: Controversy and What’s Next

The tennis season is coming to an end in 2023, but with one of the most important and exciting tournaments: the ATP Finals. The best eight of the year are being measured in Turin and this Tuesday there was a great match between Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic. Beyond the Serbian’s surprising defeat, what caught the most attention was the interaction he had with the Italian public. With all athletes, whether you love them or hate them, sometimes the balance tips to one side, but with Djokovic things are different. They praise the Serbian a lot, but at the same time they give him a lot of ‘stick’. This time the criticism came for a gesture he had at the ATP Finals. As expected, the duel between the Italian and the Serbian would be to spark off, but above all to see high-level tennis that corresponds to the best in the world. Sinner fought the entire game, winning the first set, losing the second and finally winning the last set. In the middle of the actions on the field, on several occasions, ‘Nole’ was maddened by the fans, until he himself apparently took it with grace and, like an orchestra conductor, directed the noise they made about him while he was in the stadium. bank. However, not everyone took it kindly, especially Adriano Panatta, former Italian tennis player and Roland Garros champion in 1076, who took a swing at Djokovic and even compared him to the other two stars of the brand new ‘Big Three’ . “Have you ever seen Federer or Nadal behave like Djokovic tonight? He would have bet anything that he would try for the match to break the rhythm, he always does. First the bath, then the physio, he tries everything. “I don’t like that attitude at all, thank goodness it doesn’t affect Sinner,” he said.

When does Novak Djokovic play again?

‘Nole’ will return to action this Thursday when he faces Hubert Hurkacz, a Polish tennis player who will replace the place left by Stefanis Tsitsipas due to injury.
