Jannik Sinner is currently in the quarters of the Roland Garros where he will face the great Rafael Nadal. The new Italian sensation has been playing fantastic tennis in Paris, but he has already impressed 2 weeks before the French slam in Rome. At the Internazionali d’Italia, Jannik beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round after breezing past an out of sorts Benoit Paire in the first. Jannik lost to an inspired Grigor Dimitrov in the 3rd round, but the Bulgarian champion couldn’t refrain from commenting on how impressed he was from Jannik.
Dimitrov about Sinner’s coach
After the match against the Italian, Grigor commented:
“I think Riccardo [Piatti] is doing a great job with him. I think time can only tell for him. I think that’s just how it is. I think on hard, he’s playing really well. Even on clay today, I thought it was a very good match on his end.”
Then Grigor added:
“I have noticed a few of his games in the past year, even when he played in the Next Gen. What I like,he’s already a very strong guy, meaning his legs are very strong already for his age. So, I feel, he can only get better.”
