    Jannik Sinner: the case for the GOAT

    Italy · Born 16 August 2001, San Candido, Italy · Career 2018–present

    Italian baseliner with clean, flat power off both wings and superb movement, who became the first Italian man to reach world No. 1.

    Why Jannik Sinner could be the GOAT

    Sinner has won five majors, including back-to-back Wimbledons and Australian Opens, and has traded the No. 1 ranking with Alcaraz as the two have split recent majors. His baseline hitting may be the cleanest in the game. With titles on hard courts and grass still in his mid-twenties, his trajectory is historic.

    Jannik Sinner head to head

    How the ranking works. Every head-to-head vote is a result, like a game. The standings use a Bradley–Terry model, the same idea behind chess ratings: beating a highly rated legend counts for more than beating a long shot. Ratings are shown on a chess-style scale centred on 1500.

    One vote per matchup per person. If you see a pairing again in another session your new answer replaces the old one, so nobody can stuff the ballot by repeating a matchup.
