ATP, Unusual > Justine Henin fiercely defends the Jannik Sinner “style”: “Fortunately, it can still please people when a champion is loved because he knows how to keep his head on his shoulders and, above all, is recognized for his performances on the court

Justine Henin was the consultant for Eurosport throughout the week of the Masters. As usual, she offered us a precise analysis of the situations.

Last night, during the final between Sinner and Fritz as the outcome was about to take place, she sent a fairly clear message to those who criticize the world number 1, accusing him of being too smooth, even boring. It must be said that although the Italian is very efficient with racket in hand, he is rather very laconic when it comes to expressing his emotions and sharing his joy.

« I find it quite good and comforting that a player is appreciated because he is humble and simple. Fortunately, it can please a champion to be loved because he knows how to keep his head on his shoulders, recognized above all for his performance on the court. declared the Belgian.

An analysis that other consultants will not necessarily share, explaining that a world number 1 is also the standard bearer of world Tennis and that he must be a little more “media-friendly”.
