Together, they’ve formed a partnership that’s strikingly reminiscent of the early days of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Their era felt unstoppable until Novak Djokovic emerged and reshaped the landscape.

Much of the talk these days is about who might step in to challenge their hold on the game, but so far, no one seems to be operating at quite their level. This dominance has been especially clear from Sinner lately. He’s closing in on a rare achievement that only Novak Djokovic has reached before him.

Sinner is currently riding a 19-match winning streak at Masters 1000 events, drawing comparisons to Djokovic’s 2015 run when he claimed the Indian Wells, Miami, and Monte Carlo titles back-to-back. Reflecting on how close Sinner is getting to that milestone, Vandeweghe said: “Goat trying to meet another goat at this point.

” She added: “It’s crazy to see that level of tennis. The one thing that I looked at in that stat that what seemingly crazy was his set streak. ” “To be able not only to win as many matches as he has but the dominance of winning it and beating all these men in straight sets along the way in these Masters 1000s,” she continued.
