The Italian tennis top talent Jannik Sinner (20) and the successful coach Boris Becker be the new Sinner coach? – Tennis”>Riccardo Piatti apparently go their separate ways. This is reported by several Italian media unanimously.
the Gazzetta dello Sport also brings Boris Becker into play as a candidate for Piatti’s successor in the world ranking tenth from South Tyrol. Since the end of his collaboration with Serbian superstar Novak Djokovic in 2016, three-time Wimbledon champion Becker (54) has not worked as a trainer on the professional tour.
The Italian coaching guru Piatti accepted Sinner, who is currently taking a break due to a corona infection, into his academy at the age of 13 and formed him into one of the best tennis professionals in the world. The 63-year-old even described the youngster as “the most talented player I’ve ever had” – mind you, Piatti had already looked after the 20-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic (34) at the beginning of his career.
At the Australian Open, Sinner clearly failed in three sets in the quarter-finals against the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas.
