Paolo Bertolucci pushes Jannik Sinner toward Grand Slam.
The words of Bertolucci
Paolo Bertolucci on Radio Anch'io Sport on Rai Radio 1 spoke about Jannik Sinner and a possible Grand Slam: "This could be a year to focus on. Before, when Nadal was there, Paris was a tabù for everybody, you had to think about the other three tournaments and the Grand Slam was impossible. Now there isn't a Nadal anymore, there are good players like Alcaraz and Zverev, but the others can't think of challenging Sinner. In general, apart from Alcaraz, I don't see a player who can beat him on clay. Then on grass he has already shown that he is amply competitive, in New York he has already won".
"The Grand Slam è very difficult, only Djokovic è came close. Before some young person can come to bother him, it would be ideal to seize this moment where there are not too many opponents to match, at most one or two. We have to enjoy it and understand how lucky we are to be able to follow and cheer him. Sinner è a phenomenon on the field and anyone can è notice that, but he è off the field as well. Sometimes when I see him, I touch him and say but are you real or are you a ufo?".
"To his volley I put a 6.5, è related to the fact that he is number 1 in the world. A hair in the egg has to be found. And then the flying game è the least cared for and least followed. He thought first about creating a phenomenal base on rebound shots. Then he put in a lot of physical work: he was a little bit behind and now in the last two years he has made a big leap. He remains a little bit behind on the volley game, but you have to consider that out of 100 shots, the volley shots will be 3-4. But also the ì è improved, like position and execution of shots. In a couple of years we will get to an 8.5-9 as a grade even in this fundamental".
"A 10 in response. It is no coincidence that Sinner is being talked about as Djokovic’s heir. Certainly where è more è close to the Serbian phenomenon è the service response, always taken care of but not overly focused on until recently. Then it è realized that the service response è the first card the rebounder can play, è became a very important shot. You can see how Sinner can hold off big hitters with great naturalness".
