Paolo Bertolucci unveils Jannik Sinner’s new weapon

The words of Paolo Bertolucci

Paolo Bertolucci speaking about Jannik Sinner in Gazzetta dello Sport analyzed how his serve has improved: "For a long time the serve è was considered a weak point, but I always felt that it was just a stroke to be worked on and improved. Before, he didn’t bring his feet closer to the moment of hitting, but now he does. Then he loads his knees and explodes upward, making the stroke more effective".

"He has taken the hesitation with the racket head back, downward, out of the movement – è entered the technical -. Now he brings it immediately behind the head making the gesture more fluid, effective and also easier to handle in windy conditions. In addition, he has imperceptibly changed the’grip, just a few degrees, while the ball throw now è more advanced to be moreù ready and quick to enter the field".

"Often when è down in the score you get out of trouble just with your serve and an ace on 40-0 è quite different from one on 30-30 or 30-40. It means you do it with the mentality of the champion. An average player who is going to serve in a disadvantageous condition often gets overwhelmed by’emotion or confusion, the phenomenon on the other hand says “I’ll put it on ” and does it"” he concluded.
