Adriano Panatta has no doubts about Jannik Sinner

The words of Adriano Panatta

Adriano Panatta commented to Domenica Sportiva on the defeat of Jannik Sinner in the final in Miami.

“He was not the same player who had faced Alcaraz, he was more tired and his legs were not turning as usual. After all, these are very tough matches that leave their mark. He is not yet a 100% physically formed tennis player, he is still a boy, not a man. Definitely, he has improved a lot, he has put on four to five kilos of muscle, but he still doesn’t have that experience and preparation to play at a certain level all the time. He is an amazing guy, very strong technically and mentally, however, he is not yet like Medvedev and Djokovic.”

“I think he can play well everywhere, on any surface, because he has improved certain aspects of his game. He still has some things to learn, fortunately for him, on clay where the point is more elaborate, the short ball is used a little bit more and where he slips. I want to see him in Slams, because we are all waiting for him to win such a tournament. He will definitely win a 1000, sooner or later, quiet eh…In the majors you have to see if two weeks, three sets out of five, he can handle it physically. You have to be pretty tough, he is, however in those tournaments there it’s a different sport.”
