Sinner champion at deadline: unexpected beating

by Thorsten

Sinner, this beating just wasn’t needed: check the deadline carefully, it’s already written in destiny.

The world is beautiful because it is varied, goes an old saying that we should all agree on. Also because it would be a bore if we all had the same ideas and way of thinking, the same tastes and passions. It is much better, therefore, that we do.

It would be no fun, on the other hand, if everyone indiscriminately was crazy about the champion of the moment, namely the South Tyrolean tennis player Jannik Sinner. He is talked about everywhere and in every sauce, in Italy but not only. The tennis people are crazy about him, but it is normal that, from time to time, a voice out of the chorus pops up. Precisely in light, precisely, of what we said earlier. That if it were not so, it would be a bore. And so, amidst a sea of fans convinced that he will be the next world number 1, it may happen that someone disagrees with that prediction.

That someone today answers to the name of Nikolai Davidenko, whom fans of the sport will undoubtedly remember because of his countless achievements. He has long been ranked third in the world rankings and is sufficiently prepared, therefore, to have every right to talk about tennis and the athletes who populate the circuit right now. So much so that, in the past few hours, he wanted to take stock and analyze, more specifically, the performance of the San Candido native.

Sinner, what a mauling: he tore him apart

“I’ve seen live how he plays and trains,” Davidenko related, “he’s really a hard worker. He is also trying to change his game. He glides, he moves well, he is physically strong and stable. In this he is fantastic and I think if he continues like this he will definitely improve his results. “


Up to this point he has spent some rather flattering words for Italy’s No. 1, of whom he has made an excellent portrait. It’s just too bad that he later let loose with a statement that will not have made Jannik happy: “He often pushes himself to the limit,” said the former world number 3, “he still lacks something, and it’s hard to last a whole season relying only on willpower. He can have a great tournament, a great big match, but to last the whole season like Djokovic he has to be able to do something else. Maybe it’s also psychology.”

First the carrot – which in Sinner’s case falls right into place – and then the stick, then. For Davidenko Jannik is a “deadline” champion, unable to render 100 percent from the first to the last tournament. And we can only hope, at this point, that the facts will prove him wrong.
