Sinner coach Piatti: “Show him videos of Federer & Co.”

Piatti is known like a sore thumb in the tennis scene. The 62-year-old Italian has already trained Novak Djokovic, among others, during his career. Sinner has been under Piatti's wing for a good 5 years after moving to his academy in Bordighera in the summer of 2015. Piatti praises Sinner's strong nerves After Sinner's first ATP title in Sofia, his coach appeared in the Italian newspapers Corriere dello Sport and Il Secolo XIX Speech and answer. He particularly emphasized the astonishing maturity of his young protégé. “Jannik usually manages to find the right solution, even in difficult moments. But I often tell him that in such situations he has to look for the simple solution more often than to play the difficult ball. Sometimes this can be counterproductive.”

It is precisely these moments that are crucial for Piatti in tennis: “I showed Jannik many videos of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. But only those sequences in which they weren't playing well or were in a critical situation. He can learn from it how to get out of such situations.” The Corona break was well used According to Piatti, Sinner made particularly good use of the Corona break: “Since there were no tournaments, he trained 2 to 3 times a day and thereby further improved his tactical and technical skills. In June Jannik was able to train with Zverev, Berrettini, Goffin, Dimitrov and Wawrinka in Monaco and play against them.”

“Jannik is a determined guy who loves tennis” Riccardo Piatti Piatti claims that it is important for the Sesto native to remain positive despite all the rubble surrounding him. “Do you remember the athletes who ultimately didn’t live up to expectations? I don't know why I would do that. There's no point in feeding up fears. Jannik is a determined guy who loves tennis and wants to know everything about it. We just want to continue on the path we have chosen, because there is still a long way ahead of us.”
