In a few days the Wimbledon tournament will officially begin. The news destroys all tennis fans, nothing to do.
In a few hours the draw will be made for the Wimbledon tournament, the third long-awaited Slam of this season. It will be played on grass, the surface least frequented by tennis players during the 12 months and there is curiosity to understand who will be able to triumph this time and rewrite history again.
One of the most anticipated men is undoubtedly the world number one Jannik Sinner, semifinalist last year and winner a few days ago of the Halle tournament, also on grass. The South Tyrolean has had an impressive growth on all surfaces and even on grass he is considered among the favorites. In fact the main favorite to win according to the bookmakers.
Many times we have had high expectations in the Slams for the champion from San Candido but so far he has triumphed ‘only’ once this year in Australia with fans waiting for a ‘replay’. Former Italian tennis player and coach Claudio Pistolesi spoke about Sinner and current tennis, specifying what he expects from the tennis player in the future. Pistolesi ‘normalized’ Jannik and clarified a message to his now many fans.
Jannik Sinner is warned, he will hardly succeed
In the history of tennis only Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have succeeded, then no one else has reached 20 Slams. To current tennis fans, achieving this result does not seem so absurd, but Pistolesi warned the Italian fans and clarified: “I don’t think Alcaraz or Sinner will win 20 or more Grand Slam titles, then obviously never say never, but for me it’s really very difficult.”
The well-known coach also spoke about the era of the Big Three, now closer and closer to officially ending: “Every era has its champions, Alcaraz and Sinner have shown that there is already a post-Djokovic, Federer and Nadal. Tennis moves forward even if they have left a memorable mark.”
On the other hand, Pistolesi’s theory is clear, just think of champions like Andy Murray or Stan Wawrinka who never went beyond 3-4 Slams and winning 20 Slams is truly an impossible mission, never take it for granted. Still speaking of the Big Three, Pistolesi concludes:
“Big 3? Each one is different even if the three of them have left a memorable mark, forever. Then I also add Andy Murray who has won a lot and was number one with the three of them in full swing”, the final comment of the former tennis player.
