Gustav Thoeni returns to talk about Jannik Sinner

Gustav Thoeni, in an interview granted to Libero, spoke not only about skiing but also about Jannik Sinner, comparing him to the legendary Alberto Tomba: "The truthà è that athletes like Alberto or like Sinner are born every 30 years".

The number one in the ATP ranking really started with skiing, before jumping into tennis: "É was born in Val Pusteria and went like a little train between the gates. Then at 7-8 years old he chose tennis and it seems to me he did well, didn’t he?".

The former ski champion is not new to words of praise for Jannik Sinner. Recently, he had commented on the South Tyrolean’s triumph at the Us Open: "I saw yesterday’s final against Fritz, but Jannik I have been following him for a long time I am a big fan of his. I am overjoyed for his victory, he deserves it è an amazing guy".

"As a boy he also did very well on skis, but he chose the best sport for him and did very well as evidenced by his incredible achievements. He would have been a champion in skiing as well becauseé he has great talent and willpower" " concluded Thoeni.
