“Let’s analyze the matches played in the last five Masters 1000 that he won this year”: former tennis player Diego Nargiso spoke about Jannik Sinner in an interview with Repubblica. And he explained: “A long series of two sets and an hour and a half at most, because the boy is a champion and that is his average. A match every two or three days (29 in 72, ed.). More than physically, maybe he can be mentally tired: because it is difficult to stay number 1, and maintain that level.”
Referring to the latest injuries in the tennis world, he then emphasized: “The boys now train too little, at least compared to us. During the season we had time to plan, and usually between mid-November and Australia in January (without ATP Finals, Davis) there were 4 to 7 weeks to physically structure yourself. Work, do that volume that was then needed for the rest of the season. Wrist, knee, elbow, shoulder? Personally, I never had major problems. Today you no longer see those ‘beasts’ of the past: they are a bit like footballers, who no longer do long training camps but play immediately with the ball and then end up breaking themselves.”

According to him, moreover, his tennis was not at all less intense: “Same tournaments, tour, cities. Different surfaces, in some cases even more ‘strange’: unpredictable, demanding. The rallies? On certain courts there was a synthetic vinyl that was almost impossible to return. But on clay you could go on for hours. Today with shoes you can slide on hard courts, while before you would have torn your ligaments. Everything evolves, it’s true. Materials have increased power and speed: but also Ivanisevic, Sampras, Krajicek, Philippoussis served at 220 km/h. Maybe he defends better, and this can lengthen the times. But in the end, I don’t see many differences”.
