Paolo Bertolucci has a certainty about Jannik Sinner

The Italian tennis world è full of excitement about what Jannik Sinner did in the last months of 2023. Between ATP Finals in Turin and Davis Cup finals, then won by Italy, the 22-year-old South Tyrolean from Sesto Pusteria beat Novak Djokovic twice out of three times.

The’only time he lost è was in the final inTurin but the other two times, in the ATP Finals round and especially in Malaga in the match against Serbia, were two hard-fought matches and in the second Sinner also nullified three consecutive match points to the world number one.

After a few days of rest, the 2024 ATP No. 4 will start from Aicant, Spain, where he will begin training for the new year, in which the’goal è to overtake Daniil Medvedev, Carlos Alcaraz and especially Djokovic, who are ahead of him in the world rankings.

And it is precisely of the progress made by Sinner that Paolo Bertolucci spoke together with his lifelong friend Adriano Panatta in the podcast “La telefonata”, in which he joins the historic doubles partner and judges Jannik now very close to Nole in terms of quality and continuity of tennis. Here are Bertolucci’s words reported by tennislive.it.

“Sinner took another step forward becauseé it was the third set in 10 days and how he played it…. By the way, even with a less than excellent service performance and some errors from behind, he beat Djokovic for the second time, we are on another level. È a millimeter from the Serbian, as an expression of tennis, that is; in the challenge against him you start from a condition of parity. Until four months ago if you won a set you could be happy".
