Rome, 15 Oct. (askanews) – “We have great confidence in the Tas. Not even Wada thinks it needs to re-qualify what happened, its appeal is on the correct application of the rules currently in place on this accidental accident.” The president of FITP Angelo Binaghi spoke on the program “La Politics in football” on Radio Rai Gr Parliament, talking about Jannik Sinner and the most recent implications of the “Clostebol case“. “For Jannik – continues Binaghi – it was a feat to keep everything hidden and then manage the media avalanche, now in my opinion the most acute phases of the storm have passed. When will the judgment come? The first months of 2025 will probably be decisive.” On the successes of the South Tyrolean he says: “He won two slams in one year: he has a fifteen year difference with Djokovic, so with two a year he would reach 30. Maybe it’s excessive, but taking an average between Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, that’s a nice goal to achieve. But it matters little how many he achieves, the real problem is how long we will be able to keep him in perfect shape. You don’t need to see the points he scores or how many tournaments he wins, you need to monitor his health. If there is health, Jannik is a phenomenon as a boy and as an athlete, he continues to learn, his religion is work. It doesn’t change whether it’s 10, 20 or 30 Slams, for the first time in history Italian tennis is the absolute protagonist of the world scene.” Finally the ATP Finals: “I am convinced that we will be able to hold the Finals in Italy until 2030. It would be a great thing for Italian tennis but also for the whole country, given the economic and social repercussions, that the number one in the world could play the end-of-year tournament, the most important indoor tennis tournament, at home, in Italy, until 2030. I believe we will make it. Today tennis in Italy has a level of visibility that can be measured with football and cannot be achieved by other sports.”
