With Sinner, whom I’ve faced more often, his ball speed is extremely high. I’ve never seen anything like it. There’s nothing comparable on the tour.
Playing against him, it’s like everything is twice as fast. Normally, I adapt well to that speed, but it’s tough when someone hits that hard and that consistently from both sides of the court, plus with his exceptional serving level.
