Regarding the match that the blue will have with Rune, Vincenzo Santopadre, former tennis player and former coach of Matteo Berrettini, comments: “Tonight I expect an attacking Rune, who will try to defuse Sinner’s drumming force in playing pinball. Rune likes to play balls, it will be crucial to continue serving well. And above all Sinner will have to continue to be himself in all respects.”
And on the match with the Serbian tennis player he says: “Jannik came to the match against Djokovic with a different awareness than in the past, he feels much stronger and is showing it by playing with great authority. This awareness of his strength has fueled his confidence, Jannik is ready to compete on an equal footing with the big names, but the most important news is that he beat Djokovic without playing a masterpiece match.”
