Pietrangeli: “Sinner in the top ten? Can he go even higher”

“The first time that two Italians enter the top ten is fantastic. People must understand that they are two out of 10 in the world. I am happy to have guessed, perhaps for the first time, that Sinner could enter the top 10 in the world at the end of the year and he got there. He has everything, something still to refine but then they are pains for everyone. We don’t know where it can go “. These are the words of the legend of Italian tennis, Nicola Pietrangeli at Adnkronos, about Jannik Sinner who yesterday passed Casper Ruud number 8 in the world by entering the semifinals of the ATP in Vienna and in the top ten of the ATP as well as having risen to eighth place for the race at the ATP Finals in Turin. “A true Finals in Italy and maybe even having two Italians with merit in Turin is exceptional. Beware of Medvedev, Zverev and Tsitsipas but the two Italians in this group are fine, they have not usurped any place”. “Sinner is aiming even higher? He already is, he must be careful not to fall, the important thing is to keep himself but the conditions are all there”, added Pietrangeli who is also aiming for the Davis Cup. “I went out of balance by saying that Italy has a good chance of winning the Davis Cup, because we really have a good team. Maybe only Russia is stronger but Italy aims to win the trophy. Double? I would put Berrettini with Fognini, because with Matteo’s serve and Fognini’s forehand they can do some damage “.
