Boris Becker goes all in on Jannik Sinner
Jannik Sinner’s performance at Wimbledon is convincing legend Boris Becker, who in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport is betting on the Azzurro ahead of the second week of the London tournament: "The match between Sinner and Berrettini è was a “true” match of excellent tennis. I was pleased to see Matteo finally competitive, but I had no major worries about Jannik: è in confidence like few others on the circuit right now".
According to Becker, the more difficult draw facilitates Sinner: "Personally, I always preferred to start with tougher opponents, because ité prepared me mentally for the second week. I think Sinner’s win with Berrettini projected him fully into the tournament".
"Tennis on’grass è a different sport from what you play on other surfaces. You have to have a lot of confidence in your game and Sinner right now has it", assured the German.
"I think Sinner is on the right track. He has been playing at a very high level for months now, and his greatest quality is consistency. If we focus on the’last period he has not yet played a “bad match” touching iron. On the one hand you can’t always win, but on the other hand he always has a very high level, more than any other since the beginning of the year. When you see a Jannik match today, you know exactly what to expect, with Alcaraz you don’t. Right now the’Italian è mentally solid and that shows on the court".
