Adriano Panatta has no more doubts about Jannik Sinner
The words of Adriano Panatta
Adriano Panatta è unbalanced during the podcast “The phone call” edited by Tennis Italiano with which he relived the Australian Open semifinal: "I was tense, so much so that I woke up at 4:00. At 4:30 è then it started and there’è was no match. He was slaughtering it. After the first 2 easy partials honestly thought it would end in 3 sets. I relaxed a little bit; then for’ I saw that he had lost the third set in the tie-break. But è came the fourth…".
“I didn’t have any doubts even after that passing gap. By now he è stronger than Novak Djokovic. He shoots harder, serves better and also in the head è at a higher level, becauseé now Nole gets impatient. A’different category now. He’ll win I don’t know how many Slams in the next 10 years. I think for Djokovic that knockout is a demon that è stayed in his head. Now Nole fears Sinner. He knows he probably canà lose when he enters the court”.
"The most amazing thing, besides how he plays, è that after losing the third set on tie-break, having even had a ball to close the match, he didn’t think about who he had on the other side of the net. He didn’t think that there was Djokovic with his 1,000 Slam wins. He è put himself back on the’like a train and took it to the ball again, with a smile".
