Riccardo Piatti è drastic on Jannik Sinner critics
Riccardo Piatti, former coach of Jannik Sinner, in an interview with Tennis Majors spoke about the Clostebol case and his former student’s three-month suspension. "It's been a long time since I have heard from him but I think in his mind he knows what he has to do. He knows he has to focus on what he has to do and not on what other people are talking about. I think it is quite good for him to stop and get ready to win the other three Slams".
On the frost of many tennis players over the affair: "If you ask me if I am surprised, the answer è no. I am not surprised. I know the players, if it happened to them they would have said that è it was a disaster. But if it happens to someone else, then it è not a disaster. è that’s how their mentality works. On the other hand è it è an individual sport, so uniting everyone è difficult".
Sinner predestined from an early age: "È it was like when I saw Djokovic. I worked a year with Novak while I was working with Ivan Ljubicic, which was a long-term project for me. But in my mind, looking at Novak, I could already see everything he could accomplish. And soì looking at Jannik, in my mind, I knew that anything could happen".
On his farewell and the choice of Darren Cahill:"Two years before we stopped, I had told him that when he got good, I would like to find someone else to help him. But he had to get good first. I think he made a really good choice, especially hiring Darren Cahill. The rest of the team is also doing a good job. This is part of life, I am very happy with what we have done for him in eight years".
