In a surprising twist for tennis fans, Novak Djokovic has struggled all year to crack the code of Jannik Sinner’s serve, a challenge that has seen the Serbian legend unable to generate a single break point against the young Italian star in 2024. Renowned sports journalist Benoit Maylin highlighted this astonishing stat on social media, pointing out that Djokovic’s last break-point opportunity against Sinner was actually a match point, dating all the way back to their high-stakes Davis Cup final in 2023. This impenetrable serve has fueled Sinner’s three-match winning streak over Djokovic in all competitions, including their latest Shanghai Masters face-off.
Djokovic’s resilience remains intact, though. Despite the Sinner streak, he reached the Shanghai Masters final without dropping a set until the championship match. As the tour moves into its closing phases, Djokovic is still in the running for a spot in the ATP Finals in Turin, and a potential showdown with Sinner looms in Riyadh’s Six Kings Slam exhibition. Will Djokovic finally crack the Sinner code before the season’s end? Fans around the world are eager to find out.
