Jannik Sinner beats Matteo Berrettini: Adriano Panatta dampens enthusiasm
Jannik Sinner-Matteo Berrettini: Adriano Panatta's analysis
During the latest episode of the Podcast "La Telefonata", Adriano Panatta, among the various topics covered, bluntly analyzed the Italian derby between Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini in the second round of Wimbledon, which è ended in four sets (7-6 7-6 2-6 7-6) in favor of the Highlander, in a match of the highest level and great spectacle.
"As a match è it was beautiful from the point of view of emotions, but technically it è was not great. I read about match of the century, but as usual we exaggerate. They made a lot of unforced errors both of them, and I think it is not normal for Sinner to make so many mistakes" debuted the'former blue tennis player.
" It almost seemed to me that Jannik was surprised that he could not play his best. Yesterday he è was not able to play at his level, also on the merits of Berrettini, who sold his skin dearly" added the'former Roland Garros champion.
"I think both can do better. Sinner I think has played at 80 percent of his potential, maybe even less, given his matches with Alcaraz and Djokovic in the past. Berrettini has regained the power of his serve, forò he moves worse than three years ago. This aspect is recovered with training and matches, he canò improve and regain his best tennis. In addition, Matteo has to work a lot on his backhand, he has a movement that does not convince me" Adriano Panatta commented.
