Australian Open > Justine Henin is not afraid about Sinner: “We must not forget that for his first Grand Slam final, he was down two sets to zero against Medvedev. But Sinner still went for this victory”

Before tomorrow's final between Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev, the predictions are going well. On the set ofEurosportNicolas Mahut spoke of his doubts regarding the purely physical abilities of Jannik Sinner, but Justine Henin wanted to be more measured, recalling in particular his victory last year against Daniil Medvedev, even though he was down two rounds to zero.

“Sinner went through things, he was sick, he had cramps in the semi-finals. There is a question about his capacity when it will last even if he has already changed a lot of things in this area. We must not forget that for his first Grand Slam final, right here in Melbourne, he was down two sets to zero against Medvedev who also collapsed physically. But Sinner still went for this victory, it wasn't easy. There are arguments that can suggest that Zverev has a lot of possibilities to get his first Grand Slam but between having everything to be able to do it and doing it, there is still a margin. Sinner remains the favorite for me »
