Second Adriano PanattaItalian tennis legend and captain of Italy who won the Davis Cup in Chile in 1976, now Jannik Sinner it would be “a millimeter” away from Novak Djokovic. In short, the South Tyrolean – who also just dragged the Azzurri to victory in the Davis Cup in Malaga – is now really one step away from the number 1 in the world, from the Serbian who has already been consigned to the history of tennis as one of the greatest of all times.
On the other hand, Sinner beat Djokovic twice in the space of a few days: first in the days of ATP Finals in Turin (where Jannik only bowed in the final and against Djokovic, who served him a very tough revenge), therefore the Davis Cup. And in Malaga Sinner’s victory was simply crazy: before triumphing he had canceled three match points in Nole. No one before him had succeeded, a fact that says a lot to him.
But it was said: Panatta. Yes, because the now former tennis player said this about him in an interview with Corriere dello Sportin which speaking again about Sinner, as mentioned, he explained: “He’s an example, now he’s a millimeter behind Djokovic, they play on equal terms – he ruled -. Saving three match points was a feat within a feat. Next time, Jannik will start with an advantage. Nole fears it. With Jannik, we are good for ten years, he is solid and mature,” he concluded, prophesying a future of bright successes for Jannik.
