The'former number one è drastic on what awaits Jannik Sinner

Mark Woodforde, former number one men’s doubles tennis player, in an interview with Tennis 365 talked about the Australian Open and Jannik Sinner’s upcoming weeks, which he predicts will be very tough. " So much has already been said about what could happen, but " it is possible that a suspension will come. So far he has been able to keep his focus, but it will be increasingly difficult".

"He had difficulties" in the first rounds of the Us Open. I think it was lucky that in the first rounds he was up against guys who didn’t think they could beat him. But now it could be even more complicated as he gets closer to the trial", Woodforde said.

"Being the defending champion also adds an'extra pressure; it will be fascinating to see how he handles it during the Australian Open".

On Nick Kyrgios’ words: "I think Nick has divided the circuit with the comments he made about Sinner and many have put a big target on his back. È he was pretty brave to make those statements, but we don’t know how he will fare on the court because he é è been away from the Tour for so long".
