The world No 1 has beaten Djokovic three times in a row and won four of the pair\u2019s last five meetings.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic won more points in a high-quality opening set that featured no break points, but Sinner crucially performed better in the tiebreak to edge it.<\/p>\n<p>The 37-year-old\u2019s level dropped early in the second set and he was punished by the 23-year-old Italian, who was ruthless in closing out the win for his seventh title of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Panatta lauded Sinner for his consistency this year and argued most of the Italian\u2019s rivals struggle to match his level for more than an hour in matches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe won again, he confirmed this extraordinary year that he is playing in a way that is beyond belief, because it is true that he has made a lot of progress in these last months, but I must say that the continuity and the average level of play is very high,\u201d he told\u00a0<em>Corriere dello Sport.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven when he doesn\u2019t play very well, with players from six and below he can never lose. When he plays well he doesn\u2019t even lose with the first four. Then I must say that the gap now is between him, [Carlos] Alcaraz and the others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe plays continuously for two-three hours always at a very high level. The others play like him, but for an hour, an hour and a quarter, then they can\u2019t keep up the pace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former French Open champion reinforced his point as he asserted that the final between Sinner and Djokovic was over after the first set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe (Djokovic) played well, but for exactly one hour. After the first set, there was no more match, so I think that Djokovic also resigns himself to giving up,\u201d Panatta continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that a player like him, who was probably the best of all time in terms of results, is not a player who can allow himself to leave the court, I don\u2019t say humiliated, but with a good beating from Sinner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a little sorry, because I have great admiration for Djokovic. I always say that I didn\u2019t love Djokovic, but that\u2019s not true. I loved [Roger] Federer more.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(L-R) Novak Djokovic and Adriano Panatta Former world No 4 Adriano Panatta has claimed Novak Djokovic resigned himself to \u201cgiving up\u201d in his Shanghai Masters final defeat&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":13613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tennis"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
