It will take Jannik Sinner two lives to surpass my record, the legendary Italian tennis player claims.
The great Nicola Pietrangeli of Italian tennis considers that young compatriot Jannik Sinner has no weak points at the present and that his future is bright.
Sinner will surpass nearly all of his achievements, according to the two-time French Open champion, but not his record for the most Davis Cup matches.
With his first-ever major victory at the 2024 Australian Open last month, Sinner became just the third Italian guy in tennis history to win a Grand Slam singles title.
The Italian sensation defeated tennis great Novak Djokovic in a four-set semifinal before battling past Daniil Medvedev in a five-set championship match.
As one of the most gifted players of his generation, the current world No. 4 is predicted by many analysts to win many more Grand Slam titles than just one.
Pietrangeli is the only Italian player to win multiple majors and the first guy to win a Grand Slam title. He won the French Open in 1959 and 1960.
With his victory in the 1976 French Open, Adriano Panatta—a former world No. 4 who competed from 1969 until 1983—became the second Italian to win a major title.
Pietrangeli, who participated in amateur and professional tennis competitions from 1953 to 1973, holds remarkable records for the number of Davis Cup rubbers won (120) and played (164).
After Sinner’s victory at the Australian Open, Pietrangeli, the 44-time champion of singles tournaments, praised the 22-year-old star for his triumph in Melbourne.
Jannik Sinner’s success extends beyond athletics. It makes you happy to see this youngster win a major competition like the Australian Open.
The 90-year-old stated, The future is bright for him, but it’s too early to determine what it will be, as cited by the Italian website Sportface.
Although Sinner is amazing, he is not Batman. He doesn’t currently have any flaws, but he can always get better. Now that he is full, the others will try to defeat him, making the fight more difficult.
However, it will take him two lifetimes to surpass my record. He will defeat nearly every one of them, but the 164-match Davis Cup is unattainable due to recent rule changes.
The Italian went on to say that his country is currently dominating the tennis world: Italian tennis is currently the top sport in the world.”What more could we ask for if Sinner wins his first Grand Slam and we win the Davis Cup?
The girls have been doing amazing things for years, but we also need to give [Angelo] Binaghi credit for his outstanding work, as the tennis federation has been in disarray for 20 years. This president is largely to blame for this tennis match.
