Jannik Sinner challenges Jack Draper: Vincenzo Santopadre’s warning

Vincenzo Santopadre warns Jannik Sinner

Anticipation is growing for the Us Open semifinal between Jannik Sinner and Jack Draper, scheduled at 9 p.m. on Arthur Ashe Stadium. Analyzing the match è was Vincenzo Santopadre, former coach of Matteo Berrettini, who pointed out the potential dangers for the world number one.

“The only thing that could bother Jannik è Draper’s serve – stressed the coach to the microphones of Gazzetta dello Sport -. The Briton é left-handed, plus he comes in confident and without ever having lost a set. These I see as the only dangers, if you can call them that, for the world number 1".

“The key will definitely be the response,” Santopadre continued. Responding a lot and entering the exchange will be decisive, once the exchange gets longer, I don’t see much hope for the Briton".

In case of victory, Sinner will face the winner of the challenge between Taylor Frtiz and Frances Tiafoe: "É it is true that by challenging an American he will have to deal with the home crowd, but Sinner knows by now how to handle even these situations. Perhaps, of the two possible finalists, Frances Tiafoe é the one who can best harness the energy of the audience, perhaps he would be more emotionally ready. From a technical point of view forò I see Fritz a little bit’ more dangerous. In short, everything or almost é in the hands of the number 1 in the world".
