It’s definitely a Daniele Bracciali in the round, who doesn’t tell them with his proverbial frankness. The former tennis player did it to Mowmagin an interview with the journalist Giulia Sorrentino, launch a jab at Adriano Panatta and talking about Jannik Sinner And Matteo Berrettini. As for the first, who had spoken about Jannik’s mistake in playing the Madrid tournament, given the inflammation in his hip that caused him to miss Rome, “with hindsight, everyone is good at talking, but why does everyone Didn’t the great coaches around these players block him – said Bracciali -? You should ask them why they made him play in Madrid. He probably played because he thought he could do it, but everyone is good at saying afterwards that he shouldn’t have played in Madrid, because then if he had won we would have talked about the great triumph. Let’s remember that the Italian has little to do with sport because he is just a fan.”
On Berrettini, however, Bracciali says nothing “simply because he is never on the pitch – he added -. I don’t know why he feels bad because I’m not a fortune teller, but perhaps there will also be mental factors in addition to the physical ones. I also said that if Berrettini got back to at least 80% of his form it would be a winning team, what more should I pay him than this compliment? And on the lack of Sinner “many yesterday (Saturday 11 May, ed) they asked me if it was possible request a refund for the ticket of the internationals since Sinner wasn’t playing. Do we realize what average intelligence we have in Italy? I replied to the fan: ‘Of course, they’ll also give you interest.’ I deal with this type of people every day, Soon they will also ask me what time Sonego pees. I’m tired of all this hassle because they only call me when it suits them. 90% of journalists are a terrible race, as well as cowards.”
Still on journalists “I have been dealing with them for 60 years and they are people who speak without even knowing how the racket is made – he adds -. It’s as if tomorrow I started talking about nuclear physics. Half of the journalists who speak on television should just shut up. The only journalist who so far has correctly written all the things I told him, besides you, was Riccardo Crivelli from the Gazzetta dello Sport. Then there are journalists who bring up the modern era, but don’t remember that tennis wasn’t invented 40 years ago. Yet, none of these self-styled journalists know who Tilden was, for them he could easily be a scientist. They start from Adriano Panattabut he didn’t invent tennis, if anything he made it more popular.”
Still on Sinner – Bracciali some time ago said that it could last a long time as a trend of victories – the former tennis player says that “we don’t need to talk now, but that the sums will be drawn in 10 years – he said again to Mow -. Everyone is already talking about it now when she has just started her journey, but he will have to discuss it when he has finished his career and we’ll see what he concludes. For now he is on the right track. It seems like such a stupid question when they don’t ask me whether or not he can win Paris. If I were certain, wouldn’t I go to the betting shop and gamble at home too? Maybe they didn’t understand that I’m not a seer by profession. Now everyone loves tennis because it is fashionable. Like when they all became sailors because Azzurra was there.” Finally a thought on Camila Giorgi, withdrawn before Rome and wanted by the Finance Department for untruthful declarations to the tax authorities regarding her salaries: “I’ve seen her twice in my life, what can I know? Having said that, I absolutely don’t care if she retired or not.”
