Jannik Sinner vs. Novak Djokovic: Filippo Volandri’s advice
A challenge to be faced against an even more dangerous opponent than usual.
Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic will face each other again in the semifinals of the Australian Open, with Melbourne hosting a challenge that has already become a classic between the legendary Serbian champion and the ever more launched South Tyrolean. Who among his main supporters certainly has Filippo Volandri, who però wanted to warn him ahead of the next, highly anticipated match.
"On the last occasions when they have faced each other, Sinner and Djokovic have had a chance to study each other,” Volandri noted to the microphones of the 'Gazzetta dello Sport'. “Now they know each other better, and they will certainly have prepared moves and countermoves that we will see only when the great challenge of the Australian Open isà begun".
Sinner's recent victories lead the Davis Cup Italy captain to advise caution for his protégé. "I expect a very prepared Nole on the court, perfect and even furious. After he lost twice in Malaga he will be a wounded beast. At the same time forò he will face a young and growing champion, for Jannik it would be wonderful to win his first Slam in Melbourne. But there is still a long way to go è and the next obstacle is certainly not just anyone", added Volandri.
