Jannik is still ahead of everyone and will continue to improve. Alcaraz and Musetti will have to be more consistent, Berrettini is worth the top 15 and I believe in Paolini. Watch out Djokovic…
“No trip for cats”, there is no tripe for cats. In recent months, this phrase has become very popular, mostly on social media. I think I said it on about fifty occasions, every time Jannik Sinner won a match. Rewinding the tape, I didn’t only do it twice: first in Monte Carlo when he lost in the semi-final to Stefanos Tsitsipas, then at Wimbledon after the defeat to Daniil Medvedev. It is the first of the so-called good intentions in view of 2025: to be able to remain on average. After all, considering that I don’t see the general panorama of competitors having changed much, I believe it can be achieved. Also because Jannik will improve. First of all in the ability to manage success, which in itself is never an easy thing, especially at just 23 years old. It can still progress and will, especially in the next five or six years. The big three, Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, taught us this: all of them, albeit in different ways, around the age of thirty added something to their tennis, be it the serve, the game at the net or the use of the drop shot . We will also have to understand how the Clostebol affair will end, but the more time passes, the more I see a serene Jannik, as if he had digested the situation and was looking forward. In this regard, however you want to look at it, I don’t think there is any doubt in saying that all this, although damaging him, has made him even stronger, further improving the mental aspect which has always been his strength.
