Brad Gilbert, former coach notably from Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick and Andy Murray spoke about Italian tennis and Jannik Sinner.
For him, if Sinner returns to his best level, surprises like the title of Jakub Mensik in Miami will be less frequent.
“In the current ranking, Italy has many top 100 players, much of which are more or less the same age as Sinner and it is not a coincidence.
Your country has built a system that not only supports players, but does the same with coaches, trainers and physiotherapists.
Sinner is the final award, but there is much more in Italian tennis. He dominated to the Australian Open, during the last year and a half, he hardly ever lost before a semi-final.
As far as I’m concerned, he shouldn’t have missed a single tournament. Rome will help him arrive in great shape in Paris.
I say that because, no matter how much you train, it is not possible to recreate the dynamics of the match. You have to play it.
During these three months, Draper and Mensik obtained results, while Alcaraz had a little trouble with his physique. Now, many will depend on the return of Sinner: if he returns to the level where he had stopped, there will be far fewer surprises. »»
