The South Tyrolean has no doubts

Jannik Sinner finished a season of ups and downs-a year in which he changed coaches and in which he managed to be the top Italian tennis player in the Atp rankings.

The South Tyrolean gave an interview to ‘Esquire, admitting that he was nevertheless satisfied with his 2022: “For me, as a year, I think this was maybe the best. Not looking at the results I say. Of course, a lot of people look mostly at the results. And that’s right, I also look at them. I think I have become a better player this year, though.”

Sinner, in the season just ended, reached the quarterfinals in three out of four Slams, except at Roland Garros, where he was forced to retire against Rublev.

Despite having achieved excellent results in skiing since childhood, at the age of 13 Jannik decided to devote himself exclusively to tennis, moving to Bordighera, at the court of Riccardo Piatti. It was a choice that would prove successful, as Sinner is the youngest Italian tennis player ever to enter the top 100 (October 2019) and to win an Atp title in the Open era (Sofia 2020). In addition, along with Matteo Berrettini, Jannik is the only Italian tennis player to have reached at least the round of 16 in all four Slams. For him, 2022 was the breakthrough year: he left Piatti to rely on Vagnozzi.
