Nikolay Davydenko defends Jannik Sinner to the hilt
During an interview given to the microphones of "Match TV", former Russian tennis player Nikolay Davydenko, among other topics, wanted to express his opinion regarding the doping case involving Jannik Sinner. In analyzing the situation related to the world number one, in addition, the former number three in the ATP Ranking è also returned to the defeat he suffered in 2005 with Argentine Mariano Puerta.
"Jannik Sinner has been playing very well for a long time. I like the way he stands on the court and especially how his tennis always makes sense. Every shot of his has a precise logic" began the former Russian tennis player.
" I had a chance to watch him in 2019 and if we compare him with what è today he has made impressive steps forward. He plays differently and his tactics è changed significantly" continued the former world number three.
"I hear so much about this situation and half the tennis players today say that Jannik wins because of doping, but for me it has nothing to do with it. His success comes from his commitment and constant work. So should I shout that Puerta beat me thanks to doping at Roland Garros in 2005? I think I lost that match because I was physically dead and he wasn't, then I don't know if doping helped him win. I am not going to shout to the world that he è bad, but rather admit my fault and my mistake in training and preparation" concluded Nikolay Davydenko.
