There’s a certain damn section of the tennis fanbase that seems completely unable (or unwilling) to admit what’s staring them right in the face: Sinner is currently the best player on the tour (or damn near close to it).
Whether it’s his relentless improvement, his dominance in clutch moments, or his consistency at the highest levels, Sinner has proven time and again that he belongs at the very top of the sport. And yet, instead of celebrating his incredible rise, this subset of cringe fans clings to tired arguments, petty criticisms, and outright baseless accusations to undermine him.
The Ridiculous Doping "Scandal"
Let’s start with the most absurd accusation of all: the doping tests. Yes, there was an instance where an infinitesimal trace - one billionth of a gram - of a banned substance was detected in his body. The tennis authorities cleared him of any wrongdoing, and experts have explained that such an amount could have easily come from accidental contamination (in his case, creams).
But no, for some fans, this has become their go-to excuse to tarnish his reputation. It’s as if they’ve forgotten that anti-doping agencies themselves confirmed there was no foul play. Are these the same people who conveniently overlook more significant controversies involving other players? Or is Sinner just an easy target because he’s young, successful, and doesn’t fit their narrative?
"He’s Just a Machine"
Another popular criticism is that Sinner plays "robotic" tennis, lacking the flair or emotional intensity of other players. To that, I ask: Have you even been watching his matches lately? His game is a blend of calculated precision and raw aggression, and his mental fortitude is second to none. Yes, he’s composed on court, but that’s exactly what makes him so dangerous. Call it "robotic" all you want—if that’s what it takes to dismantle the best players in the world, so be it.
Double Standards and Hypocrisy
It’s baffling how some fans will nitpick every aspect of Sinner’s game, personality, or career while blindly worshiping their favorites, no matter how flawed they are. They criticize his "lack of personality" during interviews but forget that plenty of tennis legends weren’t exactly charismatic off the court. They harp on about his "lack of big titles," conveniently ignoring how he’s beaten some of the top names in the game right now and is consistently improving.
And don’t even get me started on the comparisons to players with inflated hype but far fewer accomplishments. Sinner delivers results. Period. The numbers don’t lie, and neither do the trophies.
So, Why the Reluctance?
Maybe it’s because he’s not flashy enough for some fans. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t fit the traditional mold of a superstar. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s because certain fanbases (I won't name which ones) can’t stand to see their favorites eclipsed by someone younger, hungrier, and better. Whatever the reason is, it’s time to stop with the excuses and give credit where it’s due.
In conclusion, Sinner is the real deal. Whether you like his style, his personality, or his approach to the game is irrelevant. The results speak for themselves. It’s time for a certain part of the tennis fanbase to stop grasping at straws and acknowledge the obvious: Sinner is the best right now, and he’s only getting started!!!
