Many doubted, but who saved 3 match points against Djokovic in the Davis Cup?" Volandri highlights his compatriot Sinner's mental strength
Former player and Sinner's Davis Cup captain, Volandri reflected on the world No. 1's ability to handle all the unexpected challenges he faced en route to his Wimbledon title. Indeed, after a suspension, two final defeats, and an elbow injury, the Italian managed to bounce back and claim the trophy at the legendary English tournament.
"Sinner played the Roland-Garros final extraordinarily well, but after the loss to Bublik in Halle, there were already people ready to cast doubts. We, who see him every day, never had any doubts. After all, two years ago, we won the Davis Cup by saving three match points in the semifinal against a certain Djokovic. And who was on the other side of the net? Him, that extraordinary young man.
When Sinner puts on the national team jersey, he immediately makes himself available to the team. That’s one of Jannik’s most beautiful qualities: always ready to help others improve. He played a great match against Alcaraz—especially from a mental standpoint.
The elbow issue was no small matter: exceptional work was done, day after day. Kudos to the federation’s medical staff, who once again delivered. Sinner is always extremely attentive to the smallest details, and that’s what makes the difference. After the tricky match against Dimitrov, he didn’t make any more mistakes.
