Jannik Sinner Wins 2023 ATP Most Improved Player Of The Year Award

| by Erik Virostko

Jannik Sinner seemingly can't stop collecting accolades for his successful 2023 season, as he was named the 2023 ATP Most Improved Player of the Year.

The start of the season didn't seem to be so successful for the young Italian. He lost to Sebastian Korda in the quarterfinals in Adelaide before crashing out to Stefanos Tsitsipas in the fourth round of the Australian Open.

He then won in Montpellier and made it to the final in Rotterdam before playing in the Indian Wells final and Miami Open semifinal. But after that, the clay-court part of the season, and to some degree, also the grass season, was not so successful for Sinner.

However, during the last part of the season, he was superb. First, he won his first ATP 1000 title in Toronto, then he triumphed in Beijing and Vienna, and also showed a few heroic performances at the ATP Finals, beating even Novak Djokovic.

The Serbian then had his revenge in the final, but Sinner traveled to Spain, where he led Italy to a historic Davis Cup triumph, and it was this last part of the season that made him probably the most-talked-about tennis player in the past few months.

His coaches, Darren Cahill and Simone Vagnozzi, won the Coach of the Year Award, and Sinner was also voted the Fans' Favourite for 2023 as the youngest player since Roger Federer.

Now, the Italian received yet another award, one for being the most improved tennis player of the 2023 ATP season.

Last year, Sinner managed to win 47 matches while losing 16, winning an ATP 250 title in Umag. This year, however, he won 64 matches, lost only 15, and collected a total of four titles.

It's easy to see the improvement he made, and fans will now be on the lookout to see if he can make the next step in 2024.
