Jannik Sinner first faced Novak Djokovic in 2021.
Jannik Sinner stopped Novak Djokovic’s pursuit for a 25th Grand Slam title when they last clashed—which came at the 2025 French Open semi-finals. Sinner, current World No. #1 proved too hot for the 38-year-old Djokovic, registering a 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3) straight sets win to advance to the final.
Theirs is a prime example of inter-generational rivalry. While Novak Djokovic had already established his dominance and legacy in the game, Sinner was coming up on the ATP tour. Both players have played classic matches as Djokovic got off to a great start in their rivalry. Sinner covered some ground in the second phase and has impressed his rival on certain matches.
Djokovic’s influence in the game is immeasurable, from winning his first grand slam in 2008 to winning his 24th in 2023, he has achieved all what a player ever dreams of winning. The Serbian is 14 years older to Sinner but does not let his age come between their heated rivalry. Both players common celebrated shot is the sliding backhand which often comes in hand for a perfect passing shot.
