Jannik Sinner He was the great idol of a prosperous generation of Italian tennis, capable of winning the Men’s Davis Cup and the Billie Jean King Cup in a few days.
The world number 1 had a near perfect season. He only has one problem, Carlos Alcaraz, which he will not be with throughout 2024, his hangman in three of the six defeats suffered on the circuit. The exhibition in Saudi Arabia does not count, where the result does not count.
In the women’s team, Jasmine Paolini, No. 4 and 28 years old. The great revelation of course. Without the potential of his countryman, but with the ability to reach the finals of Roland Garros and Wimbledon, won Olympic gold, forming a strong double with Sara Errani.
The sinner is stuck in the last part of the campaign. Champion in Cincinnati and the US Open, finalist in Beijing, again the best in Shanghai, he also reigned in the ATP Finals and the Davis Cup.
He now has the ‘salad bowl’, which he led in 2023, winning the 5 points in which he participated. Back in Seville, he added 4 to his streak, three singles and a double needed in the quarterfinals against Argentina. Duet with Matteo Berrettini, the other hero because he contributed 3 points, no error either.
The two have chemistry. A relationship that explains that Jannik Sinner seriously involved in the defense of the Davis Cup, looking for the second in his record.
The motivation of the sinner comes from a promise he made in 2023, as he himself confirmed, not without the first warning that “I do not make any promises at this time.” Between smiles.
There is no commitment for 2025. “Last year was different. The feelings were different, although coming back as champion and winning again is one of the best feelings for all of us.” The team.
And he points to the ‘culprit’ of his promise. I want to come back and win the Davis Cup Matteo Berrettini, dropped to Final 8 in 2023 due to an injury. Despite the painful absence, Roman took to the Italian bench to support his team as if he were part of the official line-up.
“It’s different now that Matteo is playing with me. I am happy, I am therefore happy to have achieved it,” said Sinner.
He thanked the whole team “who gave 100%. There are many things behind the scenes that are not visible. It was a very difficult decision for Philip (Volandri, the captain). We are all happy. For me it’s an incentive to face the preseason with confidence,” he concluded.
