Jannik Sinner, the Italian tennis player, winner of Wimbledon for the second consecutive year, earned praise for the technical quality of his game from Boris Becker, who compared him to Novak Djokovic. Although there was the feeling that the tournament lacked the spark and exuberance that the Spanish player Carlos Alcaraz, sidelined due to injury, would have contributed.
Jannik Sinner, August 16, 2001 12:52 am Sexten, Italy, currently ranked number one in the world, began skiing at the age of three and competing in ski races at the age of eight. He started playing tennis at age seven, although it was only his third priority after skiing and soccer. He turned professional tennis at age 16 and started winning immediately.
he has a 4th Leo’s house, the Sun, opposes Uranus in her midheaven, so she could have proven erratic and wayward. But what anchors it is a formidable conjunction of Pluto with Mars in opposition to Saturn. That’s an amazing combination that hints at iron control. His Sun is also trine his determined and tenacious Pluto and Mars.
He also has a Jupiter yod and the North Node in Cancer sextile Mercury conjunct Neptune, which seems incongruous having a dreamy quality next to the rest of his chart, but a prominent Neptune is surprisingly common among top athletes.
Novak Djokovic May 22, 1987 11:25 p.m. Belgrade, Serbia, has a Gemini Sun on the cusp of his sports 5th house, tied in a yod sextile to an Aries Moon conjunct Pluto and his Pluto trine Mars. So it also has a big impact in terms of temperament with such a focused Pluto. Additionally, Mars opposes Neptune being square to its Moon in Aries, due to publicity and interaction with the public. Another yod of Pluto sextile Neptune is conjunct his Sun for a determined temperament.
Carlos Alcaraz, May 5, 2003 3 am Murcia, Spain, has a Sun in Taurus in his restless and communicative 3third house in the center of a fixed T square with a lucky and extravagant Jupiter in Leo in an enthusiastic and risky opposition to Mars and a publicity that attracts Neptune. His Pluto opposes Saturn’s Moon in Gemini in his sporty 5th House for his toughness and determination to counteract his lively Mars Jupiter.
All three have this mix of hard and soft: Pluto, Mars and/or Saturn with a Neptunian streak.
