Nicola Pietrangeli doesn’t bet on Jannik Sinner

The words of Nicola Pietrangeli

Nicola Pietrangeli, on the sidelines of the presentation of the Foreign Press Lifetime Achievement Award, also spoke about Jannik Sinner: “To make comparisons between my era and the current one is impossible, but I can assure you that Sinner is someone who will go a long way and do well. If he will win a slam? If I knew I would go and bet.”

On the Internazionali BNL d’Italia for two weeks: “This is a great success for the federation, the president was very keen on it. It won’t be easy because the draw boards will be bigger, but in the last few seasons the tournament has been a success so I feel like saying that the weather will be the only real unknown because the organizational machine is broken in. The players really like to come to play the Masters 1000 and the WTA 1000 in Rome, I am not saying this out of parochialism but because I know. The center will be full and it would be full even if it were bigger.”
