In the field the style is different, but the statistics unite them: from the first Slam to a few months of difference, to the weeks of number 1 at the same age
As a style of play and as a way of being on the pitch, Jannik Sinner and Roger Federer have no great similarities. It is no coincidence that the number 1 in the world is often compared to one of the greatest rivals of the Swiss, Novak Djokovic. And yet, Jannik and Roger have so much in common, in numbers and victories at the same point as their careers and equal to age, and this Australian Open is once again testified to him.

Jannik is 3 consecutive, but he can safely get there.

Sinner and Federer also became number one in the world almost at the age of age: Jannik managed to us in June 2024 at 22 years and 9 months, Roger at 22 years and 5 months. And speaking of n.1, the Swiss has the absolute record of consecutive weeks spent at the top of the ranking, 237.
