Simone Vagnozzi takes stock of 2024 by Jannik Sinner

Simone Vagnozzi for three years è the coach of Jannik Sinner and has greatly contributed to the growth of the South Tyrolean with the conquest of the first position of the world ranking.

The 41-year-old from Ascoli Piceno, whose best ranking reached No. 74 in 2011, spoke about his “student” by video link on the occasion of the Marche Prize awarded to him and Elisabetta Cocciaretto, which he was unable to collect because he was in Dubai with Jannik and the entire technical staff.

"È it was a crazy season, with so many victories that no one expected, a superlative season. Now we are preparing to try to do even better. He è a phenomenon, he applies himself, è polite, empathetic, resilient, he puts in effort every day and obviously the results help him in that".

“The journey è has been a long one, so one cannot speak of a single episode that determined the turning point in Sinner’s career. Maybe I could say in 2023 in Beijing the victory at the China Open against Medvedev or in early 2024 with the first slam the’Australian Open that gave us the right push".

“If there’è been any quarrels? È a good question but I would not talk about quarrels, if anything there’s been some discussion, some confrontation. Lately in the field in Shanghai I had to take him back for a gesture of impatience on his part. Però every day è different when playing, so there is venting, but Sinner has an exemplary behavior in every situation".
