Australian Open, Paolo Bertolucci exposes himself on Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini
A few days before the start of the Australian Open, the first Slam of the 2024 season, former Italian tennis player Paolo Bertolucci, at the microphones of the "Gazzetta dello Sport", has opened up about the potential and ambitions of Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini ahead of the upcoming tournament. The South Tyrolean è called to make the definitive leap in quality, while the Roman, after declaring forfeit for the Brisbane ATP 250, will make his return to the court in the first masters 1000 of the season starting from the qualifiers.
"I agree with the recent predictions made. In my opinion, after Djokovic and Alcaraz, Sinner è the third favorite for the final victory. He è put himself in a position, thanks to his talent and the help of the team, to be able to pursue the dream of being able to become the strongest player in the world. I don't think there will be too long to wait to see him reach this goal" began the "Sky Sports" commentator.
"He canò not have unlearned out of nowhere how to play the game, he will have to get used again to the mental management of the match and to overcome those moments when doubts will be stronger than certainties. Obviously, he cannot be asked immediately to achieve results on par with his recent blazon, and the most important thing for him will be to try to stay healthy so as to develop a full season,” Paolo Bertolucci remarked.
