Jannik Sinner, Simone Vagnozzi unveils goals for 2024
During an interview given to the microphones of the "Autonomous Newspaper of Trentino Alto Adige-South Tyrol", Jannik Sinner’s coach Simone Vagnozzi, among other topics, shed light on his client’s preparation for the new season and hypothetical goals to be pursued.
"I don’t believe those who take a tennis player and one week say they transformed him. Jannik was already very strong, but to make him grow è it took a lot of time and work. Now we are reaping the benefits, but he still has a lot of room for improvement. Tennis è like a puzzle made of many pieces that have to fit together. We modified his serving technique, backhand technique and worked a lot on the tactical part, which allowed him to learn to change his playing style depending on the opponent. We have been able to incorporate new shots into his repertoire such as the slice and dropshot, but varying means many things that the outside eye does not always perceive. In the last match against De Minaur in Davis, for example, Sinner varied the ball a lot, as he knew when to throw it flat or when to raise the trajectory to trouble the opponent's reception, so that he could accelerate and close out the point,' began the coach of the South Tyrolean player.
"In 2024 we hope to stabilize at this ranking level and to have continuity of performance in Slams and Masters 1000s. With perseverance and a little bit of luck we might even escape the big win. Jannik will be back on court at the Australian Open (Jan. 14), until then we will train, then we will also have Marseille and Rotterdam on the calendar. However, we always keep a margin of flexibility. We are not thinking about getting to the top of the ATP Ranking, but to work, because only then can we hope to get to the top" continued the former Italian tennis player.
"The decision not to take part in the group stage of the Davis Cup in Bologna è was suffered, forò the results obtained by Jannik in the final part of the season were also influenced in part by that pit stop. I è regret that from the outside they made Sinner out to be a menace. Nothing could be more untrue, as it turned out to be. Someone like him should be taken as an example for how he represents Italy in the world" commented Simone Vagnozzi.
