Angelo Binaghi dreams big with Jannik Sinner

FITP (Italian Tennis and Padel Federation) President Angelo Binaghi gave a lengthy interview to the 'Guerin Sportivo' in which he stressed that the Davis Cup triumph must only be a starting point: "I would urge everyone, starting from the great former champions like Pietrangeli, to the others who are now exulting, to reread the statements of two months ago and reflect. For us, nothing è has changed. I said that in Bologna. Our goal is not è to win Davis, but to have a player who is in the top three for the next 10 years, win Slams. That changes our history, not a Davis Cup. More will come as a result".

The number one suspect to stay at the top of world tennis è without a doubt Jannik Sinner: "About Sinner I have no doubt, boy, humble, simple, great ethics, much more intelligent and deep than he wants to pass off. We need to follow the path of these 20 years, turning this into a product of increasing value, multiplying resources and practitioners".

He then expressed his support toward Filippo Volandri: "The role of the captain, while advantaged by quality", is è complicated. Beautiful issues of a new era that thank God we faced well. If I had followed those newspapers, those pundits, those champions, we would not be here. I made the choice that my conscience dictated. The decision that maximized the results of the national team, the results and promotional spin-offs of tennis in the country. The recommendation, already given to Sinner’s staff and then to my internal staff, è to stay grounded".
