Wimbledon, Jannik Sinner drags everyone down: another record
The record book of Italian tennis è being continuously updated
Now the risk è of getting used to it all too well. The Italian tennis movement is living through a golden era and, tournament after tournament, Italy è the absolute protagonist. Clearly, è Jannik Sinner is the spearhead but not è the only one who is helping to take Italy to the top of world tennis. Even at Wimbledon, the blue è now at home.
Jannik Sinner made his own, winning the quarterfinals against Ben Shelton (è expected to challenge Daniil Medvedev) but Jasmine Paolini also reached the quarterfinals of the grass Slam (victory over Madison Keys, forced to retire). Counting in hand, è the first time that Italy has the privilege of having a representative in the men's draw as well as in the women's.
Yet another record achieved, the latest in a long line. And, mind you, in reality, the Italian tennis players in the men's draw could even rise to two if Lorenzo Musetti manages to beat 21-year-old Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard today.Three Italian tennis players in the quarters at Wimbledon: unimaginable until a while ago.
The feeling è that Italian tennis has reached a kind of excellence. Having seen Jannik Sinner win major trophies, especially the Australian Open, and conquer the top of the ATP rankings has given even more certainty to other compatriots, who are now convinced that anything is possible, perhaps even winning Wimbledon.
