Panatta to leg it: ‘Get a grip on Jannik Sinner’

Panatta’s outstretched leg

“I am always a bit amazed by the ease with which people make judgments and then change their minds.” Adriano Panatta doesn’t stand for it and tells Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Until a week ago, Sinner was a loser who had done wrong to change coaches and now he already looks like the next Wimbledon winner,” the former champion adds. On the contrary, until Paris it was said that Alcaraz would become world number one by the end of the year and would dominate without finding opponents. Since then, he has struggled to win matches. So, I give a modest advice: let them grow, give them time and don’t get carried away by contingencies.”
