Seppi ennobles Sinner: “It’s impressive”

Because the tennis tour is suspended until further notice, Seppi is enjoying time together with his wife Michela and daughter Liv, who turned two months old a few days ago. “It’s nice to spend the first few months after the birth at my wife’s side and see how my daughter grows,” Seppi revealed in a video interview tennisnet.com . “It's ideal that I'm home now. This way I can help my wife a little.” The time that Seppi can devote to his little family will continue to increase because it is still unclear when the athletes will be allowed to return to the tennis court. South Tyrolean doubles in the near future? In the almost half-hour conversation, the Kalterer also commented on his younger compatriot, Jannik Sinner. “I saw Jannik for the first time when he was 12 years old. Alex Vittur (Sinners manager, editor's note) introduced him to me at the Challenger in Ortisei. I played with him and you could already see that he was very talented," says Seppi, who was particularly impressed by one quality: "In the offseason I occasionally played in Ricardo Piatti's (Sinner's coach, note) academy . d. Editor) trained. I found it impressive that a boy of 14 was so focused on tennis.” Afterwards, he didn't really follow his development, but he was all the more surprised when he trained with him last year before the ATP Masters in Monte Carlo, says Seppi. “The way he has developed over the last year has been incredible.” Finally, Seppi gave the South Tyrolean tennis fans hope that they could play a doubles match with Sinner: “That would be great for both of us. If we have the chance to play together, we definitely will.”
