It is 11pm local time when the press conference of the ‘coaching team’ is announced in the Melbourne Park press room. Jannik Sinner. When the table in the main conference room is handed over to the coaches it is always good news, it means that we have reached the last weekend of the tournament, and the time has come to present the final. Darren Cahill e Simone Vagnozzi they sit light-hearted and smiling, even though there were difficulties in this tournament and in the semi-final: “For Jannik it has been a very complicated two weeks – explains the Italian coach – , he had great difficulties the other day with Rune and again today against an excellent Shelton. He managed all these difficulties in the best possible way, fought on every point and never gave up a game. For all these reasons he is once again in the final of this tournament.”
“It’s never easy to defend a Slam for the first time in your career – adds the Australian coach – , there are many things to manage and we couldn’t be more proud of him for the way he handled them, both on and off the pitch. The way he dealt with adversity and resilience… amazing for a 23 year old. He’s very young but sometimes he seems wiser than us… We’re not surprised to see him in the final again, his level has been very high for months now, but here in Australia he seems to be even stronger.”
