Jannik Sinner as Aryna Sabalenka: Jimmy Connors’ revelation
U.S. tennis legend Jimmy Connors, in the latest episode of his podcast 'Advantage Connors' drew parallels between Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, champions of both the Australian Open and the Us Open this year.
"Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka now have a psychological influence on other players,” stressed the eight-time Slam champion. “Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka now have the fear factor, other players fear them. This means they will start winning matches before they even take the court".
"Confidence è: 'I will play with you for five hours, if necessary, no matter what, you will have to find a way to beat me because I won't beat myself' – explained the former tennis player. For me, this è what great players work for".
"The champions of the 2024 US Open have the game, the mentality and all that it takes to win matches, but they also have that extra something that makes their opponent realize that they have to kill it to beat them. È something special and I think both Sinner and Sabalenka have that now. È really special" concluded Connors.
