18 year old Jannik Sinner: "The best advice I ever got was from Maria Sharapova, who was training with my coach Riccardo Piatti. I asked her if at my age, she was waiting for the unforced error, or if she went for her shots? She picked the second option "

[yellow grass]

That would be great. Still a Nadal 6-1 6-1 6-2 is more likely

 

[n00b]

Extremely refreshing, but highly unlikely...yet

 

[Budadiii]

thats the best advice he got?

Lol

I think any MTF'er would have been capable of that

 

[Time Violation]

What is RG 2020*?

 

[Djoker]

What is RG 2020*?

They go with this moronic idea that every event should be asterisked in this rump season.

 

[winterishere]

thats the best advice he got?

Lol

I think any MTF'er would have been capable of that

If I were a 18yo and Sharapova would suggest me to use forehand on one side and backhand on the other, I would call it the best advice I ever had.

Edit: on topic, yes of course it would be awesome. The road ends today though.

I can think of a few exceptions... 😂

To answer the question, from me it is yes. Who wouldn't be excited about a 19 year old slam champion? It would be an good thing.

I would be surprised if Sinner is up to the task physically, though. Sinner is a great example in opposing those who recommend hypertrophy in generating greater power (as if there needs to be more examples, anyway), but it's the fact that he is inexperienced at this level and he has the biggest task in tennis ahead of him. It's a big ask.

 

[NADALalot]

Sinner and Zverev played a lot of really long rallies (65 rallies of 9 shots or more), and even though Sinner was the more aggressive player, I'm surprised to hear he's not waiting for unforced errors.....there were plenty of unforced errors in that match.

 

[Fedjokodal]

Well if he can beat Nadal then Thiem then Djokovic back to back to back... That would be something, wouldn't it?

Surely that sounds impossible, though. That would be the single greatest achievement in one tournament that an player has ever done.

But to answer your question: hell yes

 

[RandomFan]

Maybe we should call masterclass with masterclass* in the future?

 

[pururin]

I hope for a Nadal win but if a youngster can win the whole thing by going through Nadal and Djokovic on clay that would be too damn epic to refuse.

 

[Mr.Black]

Getting advice from Sharapova. Oy vey.

 

[NADALalot]

It would be tragic and horrific if he beat Nadal, because its not physically possible for him to beat 3 great players in a row, so beating Nadal would just ruin the draw and make it easier for others.

 

[JediFed]

Why would it ruin the draw? Wouldn't it enhance the draw to have the best claycourter advance?

 

[Kowchi]

It would be tragic and horrific if he beat Nadal, because its not physically possible for him to beat 3 great players in a row, so beating Nadal would just ruin the draw and make it easier for others.

Take off the tinted glasses for a second.

Wouldn't it be great to have Sinner win RG? Even if hypothetical?

Question wasn't if Nadal loses and then Sinner is too tired...

 

[Howard]

Getting advice from Sharapova. Oy vey.

Better tennis advice than pharmaceutical advice.

 

[Supercell]

Obviously it would be sensational and very refreshing but not looking past some journeyman from Mallorca.

 

[Joe Speedboot]

Would it be great? Of course. If you love sport then something like this happening would excite you. Somebody only has to tell Nadal.
