At 19, Jannik Sinner continues at an incredible pace in the world of tennis. With the victory of his first title at the ATP 250 tournament in Sofia, the tennis player from South Tyrol broke several records by becoming the youngest Italian player to win a title and also younger than a tennis legend of the caliber of Roger Federer. .
In February 2001 he triumphed in a close match against French Boutter, winning his first tournament with the result of 6-4; 6-7 (7); 6-4. On that occasion there were only a few days left and Roger Federer would have been exactly 19 years and 6 months old.
Jannik was also faster than Roger, while Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic had a different story, even younger than the Italian in winning their first title. It must be said that the tennis world has been stagnant for almost six months and perhaps the tennis player could have anticipated these large numbers anyway.
On November 14, 2020, with Sinner’s victory over Vasek Pospisil in Sofia, it could become a huge story for Italian tennis. For two years we have seen, thanks also to the wise guidance of Riccardo Piatti, continuous improvements in the young tennis player from San Candido who grew up in Santa Pustola.
The victory at the 2019 Next Gen Atp Finals and the Roland Garros quarterfinals are just some of the most interesting results for the azzurri, who was the tennis player who created the most problems for Rafael Nadal during the Paris tournament.
Rivers of words have been wasted in recent years and Jannik Sinner seems to have the right qualities to be the next big star in world tennis after the Big Three. Pressure but not too much for a boy who seems to bear all possible tensions, a boy with talent, humility and above all a lot of desire to win.
A winning mix that can only make all tennis fans dream, and especially Italians. In a recent interview, Jannik Sinner was asked which of the other members of the Big 3 he wants to face next: Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer.
Sinner: Tennis, on the other hand, always gives you another chance
The 19-year-old was quick in his response, while noting that Federer is his ‘idol’ “Maybe Roger Federer because he is my idol and because I am afraid that in three or four years he will be retired, although it would be good if he never stopped. Jannik Sinner said.
According to the Italian, the best advice he has ever received is not to be afraid of failure as long as he is committed to the process. “Never be afraid of making mistakes, even if I struggle sometimes,” Sinner said.
“My parents have always supported me by telling me to commit, even if the risk of making mistakes cannot be avoided. There are people in many different sectors, not just one person … I have ideas here and there,” added Sinner.
“Of course it does,” Sinner replied when asked if the ATP Finals held in Turin give him extra motivation. “But I don’t like setting too precise goals too far in advance.
The important thing is to improve: I know that I have a lot of room (to improve) “The Italian believes that tennis gives you more opportunities, unlike skiing, where a single mistake can be costly.” If you make a mistake, when skiing, you are out “said Sinner.” Tennis, on the other hand, always gives you another chance. ”
