Jannik Sinner responds to criticism of Roger Federer
Jannik Sinner in a press conference before the start of the Beijing tournament commented on the latest statements by tennis legend Roger Federer, who pointed the finger at the lack of variety of courts on the ATP circuit, which he said impoverishes tennis to favor the rivalry between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
“Tournament directors have allowed, with the speed of balls and courts, every week to be pretty much the same. In my day it was not like that. The directors try to make the surfaces slower to then always have the same final, Sinner-Alcaraz” were Federer’s words to Roddick’s podcast.
To King Roger’s remarks, the Blue replied by agreeing only partially with the Swiss: “We already experience three major transitions: hard, clay and grass. It has always been like that. The concrete courts are very similar to each other. Sometimes there are changes, but they are minimal. Indian Wells is the tournament that comes to mind because the ball bounce is very high. It has been like that for a while’ and I don” know if there will be changes or not.
“For my part, I am just a tennis player trying to adapt as much as possible, and I think I am doing a good job. So we”ll see what the future holds in each tournament”, cut the South Tyrolean short.
