“The credit goes entirely to Jannik, who never held back from his work, until he forged ahead and reached number 2 in the ranking at 22 years old.” Massimo Sartori, from Vicenza, has the merit of having first guessed the diamond who was hiding in the immature thirteen-year-old Jannik Sinner.
Was his first coachwhen the South Tyrolean was still undecided between skiing and tennis, directing him towards the latter, with the splendid results that followed, up until yesterday’s victory in the Miami Open.
“His greatest ability has always been have control over what you do, safely, without ever losing the thread. Then, it can happen that he loses, but this gift does not abandon him – explained Sartori, 57 years old, on ‘Radio anch’io sport’ (Rai Radio 1) – Due to the quality of tennis, at the moment no one can keep up with he. Jannik lives to become number one and chases this goal every day.”
If until a few years ago “there were 5-6 players who could compete with each other”, from Djokovic and Nadal to Federer and Murrey to name just the best known, “right now Sinner is on another level – underlined Sartori – Alcaraz is very strong, but he doesn’t have the ability to stay at such a high number of laps throughout the match, Djokovic is now getting on in years and I don’t see much behind him.”
The Serbian recently divorced his coach, Goran Ivanisevic: “I think he was looking for a strong stimulus, because he understood that the relationship had become a bit flat – Sartori hypothesized – He has all the quality to play a few more years at a high level level.But, if you are not able to counteract theat tennis speed of Sinner, right now you have no escape.”
