Simone Vagnozzi talked about the confrontation between his athlete Jannik Sinner and the already number one in the world Carlos Alcarazin a recent interview with the Italian newspaper Il Quotidiano from Trentino-Alto Adige.
A comparison of always, before which the technician wanted to express his considerations. The technician admitted quite clearly and unequivocally: «Jannik will never have the physique of Alcaraz, who at 18 was already a man. But within three years we will achieve that he has the best physique possible without distorting his characteristics.
You shouldn’t be in a hurry and push too hard with athletic workloads, it would be like throwing a boomerang, it would be counterproductive. On a mental level and determination, Sinner has nothing less.»
Vagnozzi on the sinner
Vagnozzi explained what he believes is the Iberian’s true advantage over the 21-year-old Italian: «He entered the tennis tour more prepared, even earlier and more complete than Jannikwhich, however, is already strong and has enormous room for improvement.
Already today he varies the game with greater fluidity and better automatisms, above all he knows when and how to do it depending on the opponent. Tactically he is trying new things, even to have more patience and lengthen the exchange.
This sometimes leads him to expend more energy than a more mature player aged 26-27, such as Medvedev.» Vagnozzi did not retrace his steps and reiterated Sinner’s main intentions in the 2023 season: «We are targeting the ATP Finals in Turin, scheduled for November..
To be successful, you need to have continuity of performance and achieve results in the big Opens. The start of the season was excellent, both technically and physically, if we exclude the minor match injury he had in Adelaide.» The coach will now continue to work with the Italian tennis player ahead of the first ATP Master 1000 of the year in Indian Wells Sinner and Alcaraz will also face each other during the clay court tour and in the rest of the season.
