Boris Becker goes straight to the point on Jannik Sinner

Boris Becker in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport praised Jannik Sinner: “He has everything you need to be a successful tennis player: supporting cast, attitude, skill on all surfaces, fighting spirit.”

According to the German tennis player, it’s the mindset that the Next Gen still lacks: “A big part of tennis is in the mindset, and Djokovic, Nadal and Federer use the smallest sign of weakness in their opponents to their advantage. It’s about match management, how you react in a given situation to what your opponent is proposing. The emerging generation needs to learn this, more than the forehand, backhand and serve.”

Separate discussion for Alcaraz: “His destiny was written in the stars. When I saw him play for the first time I knew he was something special. He is not only a talented young player, he is already No. 1 in the world.”
