“It’s embarrassing”: the announcement about Sinner is upsetting though reading from the positive side of the adjective. Here are his words
There are some adjectives that in some circumstances have a different meaning. Embarrassing, for example, is very often used for a negative thing. But when you talk about Sinner, number one in the world, sure to close in front of everyone this 2024, you also think of something else.
In the semifinals in Shanghai, where he will not meet Alcaraz, who was eliminated, the Italian tennis player against Medveded in the quarters had a sensational match. He destroyed, literally, in two sets with a 6-1, 6-2 double-overtime victory over his colleague. Who had practically no chance. Sinner, he showed that he is on a resounding day of grace and when he is that good then things are really difficult for everybody. Well, having said that, Sky commentator Paolo Bertolucci also wanted to have his say on Jannik’s extraordinary performance.
Sinner shocking, Bertolucci’s commentary
Host of Palla al Centro on Rai Radio 1, Bertolucci used precisely that term from earlier to analyze Sinner’s test: “Jannik bordered on perfection, he played a phenomenal match. Medvedev had a shoulder problem, it certainly limited his performance. But the level Sinner expressed today at certain moments was embarrassing. “
Then, Bertolucci, had also said this, “Saturday (today, ed.) is shaping up to be a mouth-watering Alcaraz-Sinner semifinal. I think it will be the last time they will meet in the semifinals. From Monday the Spaniard will be No. 2 and consequently we will only enjoy the next challenges on Sunday in the finals.” Nothing to do instead in this respect, since as mentioned the Spaniard was beaten by Machac giving Jannik a chance to face a less strong colleague and with a real chance, moreover, to hit the Masters 1000 final before devoting himself to what will be the last official and important events of the season, namely the Atp Finals in Turin and the Davis Cup in Malaga. Then, Sinner, he is bound to have to take some rest. And let’s just say he deserves it all.
