Jannik Sinner: Special praise from Roger Federer

Roger Federer is the best tennis player of all time. Now the maestro has commented on the up-and-coming talent in the tennis circus, Jannik Sinner. “I trained with him in Rome and also in Monaco, but I don't know him enough to judge how much progress he has made. What I like about him: He plays forehand and backhand with the same power. With time and experience he will learn when to use this strength. You can't always hit full. Jannik has very good footwork for his size and is also strong offensively and defensively. This can be a great strength for the future,” Federer explained at a press conference.
