Binaghi’s advice to Sinner
“I’m happy that Jannik meets Holger Rune. I was present in Monte Carlo at the semi-final match when he didn’t win only because there was a sudden change in terms of weather. I believe that Jannik is stronger than Rune, but they will all be all-matches “last point, with great intensity. There has rarely been such a high, complete level of players in the end-of-year masters”. So the president of Fitp, Angelo Binaghiafter the group draws of the Nitto ATP Finals. “We have the eight strongest players in the world so you can’t hope to find an easy round – Binaghi then responds to those who ask him for his opinion on the outcome of the draw for Sinner -. All in all I would have preferred to be on Alcaraz’s side but maybe, I’m also superstitious, I’m wrong and in the end it will turn out to be a better draw than I had hoped for.” To the South Tyrolean champion, Binaghi recommends “Be able to have fun. If he manages to do so, it is a guarantee of great enthusiasm and great overall success. I believe that his first experience two years ago, when he entered as a reserve – he concludes – is worth a lot for what will happen in these days.”
