Novak Djokovic extols heir to Jannik Sinner
Djokovic’s words
Novak Djokovic after his second win at the Australian Open spoke mostly about Joao Fonseca: "I met him just five minutes before entering the conference room. I congratulated him not only for yesterday’s win and the last set I saw, but also for everything he’s done in the last 6-12 months"
"I have followed his rise, I love how he plays the important points. È courageous, è an all-around player and hits very cleanly", added on what many consider already; the heir to Jannik Sinner.
“Brazil è a very big country and it is very important for our sport to have a good Brazilian player. I think they haven’t had a player of that caliber since Guga Kuerten. È a good moment for Brazil, but also for the whole tennis world because é such a young player playing so well in a big stage è impressive".
“I am a fan of his game, I watched him last year as well. I see a little bit of my game in him, especially when I was his age’ and I was hitting without fear. He has all the means and he proved it yesterday on a big stage. If he continues like this; his future will be bright, there is no doubt", concluded Nole.
