‘Jannik Sinner wasn’t physically ready’, says former star
Jannik Sinner will remain the World number 1 after Wimbledon
Tennis is now being shaped by the former Italian star Francesca Schiavone, who was ranked fourth in the world, the 2010 Roland Garros Champion, and a finalist for the upcoming Paris event.
The former Italian tennis player recently revealed the launch of a brand-new initiative in Varese called the “Schiavone team Lab.” The lab will begin operations in September and be dedicated to developing the next generation of champions while instilling a love of sports.
While being interviewed at Sport Mediaset’s microphones, the Milanese discussed Jannik Sinner’s chances of winning Wimbledon and Jasmine Paolini’s incredible last-period performance: “The favorite, in my opinion, is Sinner on grass.
Not to place too much emphasis on it, but it has a crucial time on the ball due of its features that make it appropriate for this surface. Despite not being physically or mentally prepared when he arrived in Paris, he managed to go to the semifinals and achieve an incredible outcome.
At Wimbledon instead, once back home, after celebrating with his family the first position in the world, he started working and we have already seen him in some shots. I think he has the game to win it, or at least get closer to it, because he deserves it.
He’s an amazing guy, he became an example for everyone, even us old tennis players,” she explained.
Jannik Sinner doesn’t want to stop
It will be difficult not to be carried away by the emotions even for a boy always projected to the future as Jannik Sinner. Tomorrow, at the ATP 500 tournament in Halle, the Italian will play his first match as the world’s number one and will try to start the season on the grass with a win to prepare Wimbledon in the best way.
Another all-Italian star, Jasmine Paolini, was also mentioned by Francesca Schiavone. She reached a dream step at Roland Garros and was only halted by the incredible Iga Swiatek: “Jasmine has been very good since the first rounds in Paris for how well the ball moved.” She now has more self-confidence.
In this shape, winning Facing Swiatek was difficult to foresee, but reaching a Grand Slam final is remarkable—even more so than in our day and age,” Schiavone continued.
