Toni Nadal: "Djokovic is a bit more complete than Sinner"
Toni Nadal has commented on the comparison between Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner.
The legendary coach of Rafael Nadal, Toni Nadal, gave an interview to "La Gazzetta dello Sport." When asked about the frequent comparison between Djokovic and Sinner, the 64-year-old stated the following:
"I think Nole is a bit more complete. Sinner has more ball speed on the forehand, and Djokovic has a bit more feel. What they have in common is imposing a high pace of play and having exceptional ball control with very high-level movement. Jannik always plays with a very defined game plan: he imposes a high pace of play so that they cannot keep up with him."
Thus, the Majorcan nuanced the statements of a number of observers who place Sinner as a Djokovic 2.0.
