Angelo Binaghi cuddles Jannik Sinner
Binaghi’s words
"One thing è is clear: today in tennis we are the strongest nation in the world, we are number one". This is how the president of the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation wanted to celebrate Jannik Sinner's second personal triumph at the Australian Open on SuperTennis, which precedes another historic record for our tennis. Tomorrow, Monday, in fact, for the first time, there will be eleven Italians among the top one hundred players in the world in the ATP ranking.
For the South Tyrolean è it was the third final won out of three in Slams. Binaghi recalled: "It was the consecration match of a great champion, which Sinner è. The challenger, Zverev, who è is a great player, said the most correct thing during the award ceremony: Jannik è clearly stronger than everyone else, a span above the others".
For Fitp’s top executive, Jannik è a champion who should not set limits on himself, and therefore one can&e look forward. "Now there are other goals. He will have to prove that he is the strongest of all also on clay: the Internazionali BNL d'Italia in May will be a big party, it could become an apotheosis. No goal is è precluded to him, including that of winning the Grand Slam".
Then, the blue tennis chief, wanted to express his analysis: "I always thought that Jannik was in perspective much stronger than Alcaraz and that his real opponent would be Zverev, very fearsome especially on fast surfaces. Today Jannik left us speechless, è a champion of a level far superior to the others".
The additional satisfaction of the day, the icing on the cake, è was the choice to broadcast the final in free to air, on NOVE. " It's a great achievement, I thank those who did it. We will continue to fight so that the finals, and also the semifinals of the Slams with Italian players, can be seen by all our fans, as already happens in other countries".
Sinnerè s victory came almost at lunchtime, and for the main tiggì è it was the opening news. A sacrosanct tribute, confirming the fact that behind Sinner the Italian movement è is healthier than ever. "We have experienced a great start to the season, like last year and maybe more; because Lorenzo Sonego reached the quarters, Lorenzo Musetti played very good matches, our boys lost important matches by a few points. We start again as in 2024 and it was not easy to confirm the win in singles and the final in doubles. The successes of last year were not the result of a series of extraordinary coincidences, but they showed everyone our strength. This will be the level of satisfaction that, as fans, we will have in the next ten to fifteen years".
