Luca Nardi jokes with Jannik Sinner
Luca Nardi's victory in the derby with Flavio Cobolli was not enough to avoid elimination from the Next Gen ATP Finals, underway in Jeddah. However, the Marche-based tennis player can look forward to the upcoming season, in preparation for which he will train with Jannik Sinner, conducting preparation with him in Alicante.
“I wanted to do well today,” he stressed to Super Tennis microphones at the end of the match. Unfortunately, I did not qualify: I knew I had to win in three or four sets. I wanted to win in order not to leave Jeddah without a single victory, and I am glad I succeeded. Definitely è it was a match full of ups and downs for both of us. In the fourth set I got injured. From that moment I played without fear, I was out and had nothing more to lose. I tried to have fun playing some particular points and I am happy with the result".
Nardi then joked about the preparation with the South Tyrolean tennis player: "Honestly, this match I don’t really take into consideration in view of 2024, although I had a good reaction: this è an aspect that I miss. I was good at not giving up and I need to further improve this part of my character. I will doò the preparation in Alicante with Jannik Sinner. Hopefully he will let me play (laughs, ed.). Just kidding. I will try to unplug a little bit in the next few days and then train for about three weeks in Spain. I am a little bit tired. In 2024 I will tryò to play my best tennis, we will see how things".
