Nicola Pietrangeli: "I misunderstood about Jannik Sinner"

Jannik Sinner won all three matches at the Atp Finals in Turin and made Italian tennis history. An Italian legend Nicola Pietrangeli at RAI microphones had his say on the South Tyrolean's rise to the top of world tennis.

"So, I have been more than once, I won’t say accused but misunderstood. Sinner è a little phenomenon, bra-vis-si-mo. Since they say I have it in for Sinner, and in truth I don&#39t, I say that and he wins the tournament I wouldn&#39t be surprised".

"The other day I had said that if he beat Djokovic I would not have shrieked at the miracle. Today Sinner è lived up to the number one. Maybe not è number one but he is 22 years old and that helps a lot".

According to Pietrangeli, Sinner already next year can è aim for the throne: "I had predicted entry into the top five at the end of the year, forè we were at the beginning of the year. Now è at number four. He still hasn&#39t beaten me. Some d'one interprets it as jealousy, no, è just a matter of scoring, but next year in short if not one, two, we&#39re the ".
