Jannik Sinner in top 5: Vagnozzi reveals background

Jannik Sinner è the first Italian in the top 5 47 years after Adriano Panatta, but he certainly does not want to stop there. The Azzurro's coach, Simone Vagnozzi, told Super Tennis about all the work put in to get to this amazing result.

"Since we started the work in February last year we have this kind of game in mind, this Jannik. We had the goal to improve some things to beat players like Medvedev, his black beast. Yesterday it è materialized all the work of the last 17, 18 months".

With Medvedev Jannik è he was practically perfect: "He understood when he had to risk more and when to stay there; to challenge the opponent on the exchange. In these two matches è he was very good".

Not to mention the 33 runs at the net: " Jannik is evolving on the technical part and in tactical match management, two aspects in which maybe he could have been a little bit more backward. But we have to keep working because é the path is not è yet complete".

Future planning: "Coming from a tournament win and playing immediately after two days is not è easy . In Shanghai we will have to adapt as quickly as possible to the new conditions. Today he è took a day off, tomorrow we will go to training at the club. It wonè t be an easy game, but I think we have all the cards to do well".

On the Davis Cup: "He needed to take off a little bit, to take some time to be able to finish well the whole final phase of the season, which for Jannik will end with the Davis Finals in Malaga".
