Vagnozzi and Jannik Sinner’s hunger: "I lost 20 euros during training…"

Jannik Sinner’s coach Davide Vagnozzi at a press conference in Beijing told some anecdotes about the Italian tennis player, who is about to start the tournament in China.

"I have known Jannik since he was 14 years old. He played against one of my junior players, so I saw him for the first time there. We met many times at tournaments when I was coaching Marco Cecchinato and Stefano Travaglia".

“È really nice to coach him becauseé è a really fun guy. He has a really good character. È easy to coach Jannik also becauseé he wants to improve so much and go on the field always with a smile and everything; so, for a coach è really nice".

"Jannik wants to win everything – Vagnozzi recounted. Just yesterday we lost $20 each, Darren Cahill and I, because he hit the ball with his serve on the first attempt. If we tell him, ‘Take 20 euros if you do it the first time and 15 euros if you do it the second’, Jannik always does it on the first!".
