Francesca Schiavone extols Jannik Sinner: "An example for young people"
During a speech to the microphones of "Sky", former tennis player Francesca Schiavone è joined in the praise for the feat accomplished by Jannik Sinner, who won his first slam at the Australian Open with an incredible comeback against Daniil Medvedev. Among other topics discussed, the former Slam champion identified the factors that enabled the South Tyrolean to make a comeback.
"It's the first time I've experienced as a fan such an important match and in this moment I understood the thanks I was getting when I played. During the match and when he raised the cup I realized how great it is for a fan to see a guy who works hard every day and has qualities to play on par with the likes of monsters like Djokovic and Medvedev and to win an extraordinary match on the comeback. That's something special that not everyone has. Congratulations to Jannik and his team, they were superlative" began the former Italian tennis player.
"Sinner è a guy who has made important decisions, è a guy who is responsible for what he wants and does, he is working a lot on his awareness and internal balance that only great champions have. I have seen physical and technical growth, è he is sick of perfection and continues to spend different amounts of time on something he cannot do or wants to add to his repertoire. If he had not made it to Melbourne, he would have made it to Paris or London it was inevitable. The secret è internal balance, finding a state of mind that allows you to face and overcome difficulties and your own limitations" added Francesca Schiavone.
The South Tyrolean, after deciding not to take part in the Marseille ATP, is expected to return to the court for the Rotterdam ATP 500, so as to arrive in top form ahead of the two American Masters 1000s, namely Indian Wells and Miami.
