Jannik Sinner, the Italian tennis player, won Wimbledon for the second year running earning praise for the technical quality of his game from Boris Becker who compared him to Novak Djokovic. Though there was a feeling that the tournament lacked the spark and exuberance that injury-sidelined Carlos Alcaraz, the Spanish player, would have brought.
Jannik Sinner, 16 August 2001 12.52am Sexten, Italy, currently ranked world No.1, started skiing at three and competing in ski races at eight. He began playing tennis at age seven though it was only his third priority after skiing and football. He moved into professional tennis at 16 and started to win immediately.
He has a 4th house Leo Sun opposition Uranus on his midheaven so could have turned out erratic and wayward. But what anchors him is a formidably determined Pluto Mars conjunction opposition Saturn. That is an awesome combination hinting at iron control. His Sun is also trine his resolute and tenacious Pluto Mars.
He also has a yod of Jupiter and North Node in Cancer sextile Mercury inconjunct Neptune – which seems incongruous having a dreamy quality beside the rest of his chart, but a prominent Neptune is surprisingly common amongst top notch athletes.
Novak Djokovic 22 May 1987 11.25 pm Belgrade, Serbia, has a Gemini Sun on the cusp of his sporting 5th house, tied into a yod sextile an Aries Moon inconjunct Pluto with his Pluto trine Mars. So he also packs quite a punch in terms of temperament with such a focused Pluto. Plus his Mars opposes Neptune squaring his Aries Moon – for publicity and engaging with the public. Another yod of Pluto sextile Neptune is inconjunct his Sun for a strong-minded temperament.
Carlos Alcaraz, 5 May 2003 3am Murcia, Spain, has a Taurus Sun in his restless, communicative 3rd house on the focal point of a Fixed T square to a lucky, flamboyant Jupiter in Leo in an enthusiastic, risk-taking opposition to Mars and a publicity attracting Neptune. His Pluto opposes Saturn Moon in Gemini in his sporting 5th house for spine-straitening toughness and determination to counter-balance his lively Mars Jupiter.
All three have this mix of hard and soft – single-minded Pluto Mars and/or Saturn with a Neptunian streak.
