The Right of Jannik Sinner
Jannik Sinner’s forehand left even Thomas Enqvist stunned. The Swede, a former world No. 4, extolled it on ESPN: "It has a special sound, è like a whiplash: it reminds me of the way Pete Sampras".
"When we used to talk about Sampras, we used to say that his ball would go 'across the court' that is, it would splash away after the bounce. It wasn't just a matter of how fast the ball reacted once it hit the ground. Here, Sinner in this reminds me a lot of him".
He was echoed by former world No. 2 Tommy Haas, who compared him to Agassi’s: "I used to see how he would explode the forehand and backhand and I was in awe, I wanted to pull it like him. Today è the same with Jannik who can rest on solidity" and control".
