Mats Wilander goes direct on Jannik Sinner and makes an important comparison

Jannik Sinner, Mats Wilander expose themselves

Mats Wilander, winner of seven Slam tournaments and number one in the world in the second half of the 1980s, also joins the chorus of compliments towards Jannik Sinner, one of the most eagerly awaited protégés of the Monte Carlo Masters 1000, who will start from the second round facing the winner of the match between Korda and Davidovich-Fokina.

"It's difficult at this time to say anything negative about Jannik Sinner – these are the words reported by 'Eurosport' -, taking into account that he has lost only two matches in the last 37 played.He's improved so much in the last year, to the point where it seems that he no longer takes risks on the court, especially from a tactical and mental" point of view.

For Wilander, it is not only the approach on the court that is decisive at this stage of Sinner’s career: "He plays very fast,” explained the Swedish legend, continuing to sing the praises of the San Candido native, “he always looks for a winner, but it is the philosophy he has created within himself that has changed everything.

The beginning of the season on clay will impose a change of approach: "When it comes to clay, I think Sinner will be compared many times to Djokovic,” Wilander explained, making an important comparison: compared to Nole, he has a game that is perhaps more aggressive, but on the defensive side è quite similar".
