Adriano Panatta in no doubt: “Jannik Sinner stronger than anyone.”

Yesterday’s champion points to today’s champion.

Adriano Panatta says Jannik Sinner. On the Saturday before the historic Australian Open final against Daniil Medvedev, the man who rapì the hearts of Italians with his tennis victories in the '70s è is now convinced that his young heir is not only ready to win the first career Grand Slam tournament, but is now at the top of the world rankings.

"Sinner now è the strongest of all, even of Novak Djokovic – Panatta told 'Rai News' -. His destiny è to be a world champion, and to remain so for many years to come. In the Australian Open final, the favorite è he was the favorite, and he would be regardless of the winner between Medvedev and Zverev. I’m sure it will come; his first win in a Slam, I don’t see how he can lose".

Panatta also recounted his excitement at seeing Sinner beat Djokovic: "I woke up on purpose at 4:30, I absolutely wanted to see this match. And I must say that I witnessed tennis that I have never seen in my long life, especially in the first two sets. Those sets won 6-1, 6-2 were crazy".
