The’former world number one Mats Wilander in the columns of L’Equipe celebrated Jannik Sinner after his first triumph at Wimbledon: “I have never seen anyone play with his aggressiveness. Some tennis players hit even harder than him, but no one comes toward the ball so fast”.

“Jannik hits without waiting for the ball to get too low-his tennis is five or ten years ahead”. According to Wilander, the South Tyrolean champion is changing tennis: “Sinner is paving the way and will soon become a role model, because not everyone can play tennis like Alcaraz; it requires extremely rare skills and unquestionable talent”.

“Instead, everyone can try to play like Sinner, which does not require exceptional talent per se, but total commitment. This means that you must always have confidence in yourself, try to take time for yourself on every shot, stealing something from the’opponent”.
