Alcaraz Panatta Sinner

Adriano Panatta, former world No. 4 in 1976, spoke about Jannik Sinner and the possibility for him to achieve a Calendar Grand Slam, meaning winning all 4 Grand Slams in a single season.

According to him, his compatriot would have a better chance of achieving this than his great rival, Carlos Alcaraz. For Tuttosport, he explains: "I think Sinner has a better chance of achieving it one day than Alcaraz.

Jannik is more consistent, more solid and performs well on all surfaces. It was always said that clay was more difficult for him, but we saw what he did at Roland Garros with three match points...

I am convinced that Sinner is capable of it. Keeping Cahill on the team is precisely for this reason. Jannik can do it, I am convinced of it. Like every player, he must constantly improve.

And he has already proven it through his work: his serve has become much more consistent. He can improve a lot at the net because it is more difficult for him to hit low balls. He could use more precise and controlled shots there. He can also gain in physical power.
