Marion Bartoli tough on Jannik Sinner: “That’s what he’s missing.”

Marion Bartoli: “Jannik Sinner has great talent but to win a Slam you need more nastiness.”

Former French tennis player Mario Bartoli in an interview with Tennis Majors has a criticism to make of Jannik Sinner after the South Tyrolean player’s recent outings, stopped in the quarterfinals of the Us Open, defeated by future number one Carlos Alcaraz.

“Sinner has a good game, he hits the ball very hard, he has already beaten Alcaraz twice, so as a level we are there,” explained the transalpine. “But he needs to become more resilient mentally, and less of a good boy during matches. You can see he is a good guy, but to win a Slam you need a bad spirit, more fire inside.”
