“Idk how such an unproblematic player is getting so much hate”

Tennis fans recently reacted to Jannik Sinner receiving the Most Improved Player of the Year award at the 2023 ATP Awards.

Sinner had an exceptional season this year. He won four titles, including the 2023 Open Sud de France, Canadian Open, China Open, Vienna Open, and the Davis Cup with Italy.

The 22-year-old reached the finals at the Rotterdam Open, Miami Open, and ATP Finals. He also made it to the semifinals at the Indian Wells, Monte-Carlo Masters, and the Wimbledon Championships.

With an impressive record of 64-15, the World No. 4 etched his name in the history books by setting an Open Era record for the most victories by an Italian in a single season. On the other hand, he finished the 2022 season with a 47-16 win-loss record and a solitary title.

Coaches Darren Cahill and Simone Vagnozzi were also honored with the Coach of the Year award in recognition of their guidance and support provided to Sinner.

Tennis fans were delighted to witness Sinner clinch the Most Improved Player of the Year award, prompting them to express their joy on various social media platforms. However, there were people who criticized the Italian for receiving the accolade.

One fan expressed their bewilderment at how someone as “unproblematic” as Sinner could attract such negativity. The fan confidently asserted that the 22-year-old would nevertheless keep on “shining”.

“Idk how such an unproblematic player is getting so much hate ???? it’s gonna be even worse when he gets even more achievements, but he’ll keep on shining for sure ✨ ???? ,” a fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Another fan stated that Jannik Sinner getting the award was “well deserved” because he made significant progress in his game, particularly in terms of mental strength.

“Very well deserved! What an improvement – especially mentally- from last year,” the fan posted.
