Becker believes Jannik Sinner\u2019s ability to turn one of his weaknesses into a strength has been key to his dominance on the ATP Tour the past few months.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a> found himself playing second fiddle to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/us-open\/carlos-alcaraz-usopen-martina-navratilova-tim-henman\">Carlos Alcaraz at last year\u2019s US Open<\/a> as he struggled on serve, but he has upped his game in that particular area and eight months later he appears to be unbeatable.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian is on a 26-match unbeaten run as he has won five consecutive ATP Masters 1000 tournaments this year with his run starting at the Sunshine Double in March when he won the Indian Wells Open and Miami Open.<\/p>\n<p>He continued his incredible form at the Monte Carlo Masters, Madrid Open and Italian Open and, having won the Paris Masters last November, he is the first man to win six consecutive Masters events.<\/p>\n<p>An important aspect of Sinner\u2019s form has been his serve as he has a serve rating of 301.8 for the past 52 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Infosys ATP Stats Leaderboard, the world No 1\u2019s first serve percentage is 63.1% and he wins an incredible 80.4% of points on first serve. His second serve percentage is a little lower at 59.2%, but incredibly, he wins 93.1% of points on second serve.<\/p>\n<p>It is easy to see why former world No 1 Becker rates him as \u201cthe best\u201d in the business.<\/p>\n<h2>Tennis Features<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/roland-garros-prize-money-stand-off-protest\">Are top tennis stars getting it wrong in the point in bitter stand-off over prize money?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcarazs-injury-changed-atp-tour-landscape-fans-trauma-misplaced\">Carlos Alcaraz\u2019s injury has changed ATP Tour landscape but fans\u2019 \u2018trauma\u2019 is misplaced<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year, especially in the US Open final, his serve was a weakness. Now it\u2019s become a strength. If you look at the stats, he\u2019s the best server in the world,\u201d the six-time Grand Slam winner said during a <a rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eurosport.it\/tennis\/roland-garros\/2026\/boris-becker-entusiasta-su-jannik-sinner.-servizio-scivolamenti-e-dominio-mentale-negli-spogliatoi-i-giocatori-non-credono-di-avere-possibilita_sto23302094\/story.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">Eurosport<\/a> press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a huge advantage, because it allows him to win his service games quickly and conserve energy. He\u2019s improved a lot in that area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it is not only Sinner\u2019s serve that\u2019s bad news for his opponents, as the German believes the four-time Grand Slam winner\u2019s also very impressive when he is on defence during rallies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw him play live in the semi-finals in Rome. The power of his shots has improved even more. His confidence helps him with this, but so does his technique,\u201d Becker said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe stays very close to the baseline. He\u2019s learned to defend better without staying on the defensive. He seeks closer contact with the baseline because from there he can dominate the rallies. Even when he\u2019s pushed into a corner, he always manages to find a way back into the point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the Sinner slides and there is no doubt the 24-year-old\u2019s love for skiing has turned him into one of the best on the ATP Tour.<\/p>\n<p>Becker added: \u201cAnother thing I\u2019ve noticed is that no one slides on the court like Jannik Sinner. It\u2019s as if he were skiing. No other player has this sliding technique. His background as an excellent skier is certainly a benefit. This combination of footwork and sliding is incredibly effective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jannik Sinner rated \u2018best in the world\u2019 in crucial area by Boris Becker Shahida Jacobs 24 May 2026 8:50 AM Jannik Sinner with inset of Boris Becker Boris Becker believes Jannik Sinner\u2019s ability to turn one of his weaknesses into a strength has been key to his dominance on the ATP Tour the past few [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-1952356","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1952356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1952356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1952356\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1952356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1952356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1952356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
