Adriano Panatta returned to talk on Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni about Jannik Sinner: “Wimbledon is the temple of tennis: the game was born there and traditions elsewhere lost are preserved there. There is no tournament that can compare with Wimbledon”.
“I used to give them par, but Sinner played better. Except for three or four prestige numbers of his own, the Spaniard did not hold up. In the first set Jannik sized him up, and then he tarred him”.
“Sinner’s game is basic, elementary. He doesn’t have a lot of variation: he shoots hard from the backcourt with both forehand and backhand. But no one can keep up with his pace. He is the ideal representative of the modern sport based on speed and physical strength. In fact, as Mats Wilander said, he is five years ahead of the others. And then he moves beautifully: he always arrives on the ball in the ideal position to strike in balance. In this I am convinced that skiing has helped him a lot”.
