During an interview with the microphones of "Supertennis", Federtennis president Angelo Binaghi did not hide his pride in the extraordinary path of growth by Italian tennis. In addition, the former tennis player wanted to celebrate the results achieved by Jasmine Paolini and Lorenzo Musetti in the Wimbledon tournament.
"The results achieved by Paolini and Musetti may be worth a lot to the system even more than those of Jannik who è a leader, has already won most of what there is to win and will continue to achieve extraordinary results in the future. The semifinals reached by Jasmine and Lorenzo combined with the growth of players like Arnaldi and Darderi means that there is no longer just Sinner, but a system that works. A system that is not è just the Federation, è made by the clubs, the teachers who are better than they were 20 years ago and the managers" began the FITP president.
"Credit must be given to Renzo Furlan not only for what he is doing with Jasmine, but also because heé together with me in 2010 he presented the Campi Veloci project that helped steer the programming and structuring of our federation and brought up a new generation of players that is dragging the'enthusiasm of our millions of fans in Italy" continued the former Italian tennis player.
"The Australian Open victory, an unrepeatable emotion that moved me as well as Jannik's rise to number one in the world during Roland Garros. It is the repeated placings in the quarterfinals and semifinals that are crucial for the system, because it means that it is not è a passing phenomenon, but it means that the choices made over the past few years have turned out to be right and now we are seeing the fruits of the labor" added the Cagliari native.
"We have a generation of boys and girls that we will enjoy for the next fifteen years. Our athletes win, they convince and they are good people. They perform a fundamental social and educational function, sinceè one of the duties of sports champions è to push young people who try to imitate them to have good principles, good concepts and a level of appreciationà that must be out of the ordinary" concluded Angelo Binaghi.
