Holger Rune doesn’t tell Jannik Sinner off

.

Holger Rune commented on his defeat to Jannik Sinner in the round of 16 of the Australian Open in a press conference: “I think today was a good and strange match at the same time. Definitely è good to be back to play a match against him. I am disappointed not to have gone further, but happy for the work I am doing with my team. Being back with Lars (Christensen, ed.) feels good. We are doing better results than I have achieved in previous years. It’s only been three months, but I feel like I’m playing better and better”.

The Dane did not like the long stop for the medical time-out asked by the Highlander: “Today è it was a really hot day” although maybe it wasn’t sunny for a while. &It was very humid and you could feel it, è  right that it got checked, I think it took longer than I expected. È it was around ten minutes, maybe more, and it was a little bit brutal in the middle of the set. I had a good momentum at that time. They checked him on the court and then the chair judge said he needed another check to make sure everything was okay. Then he è came back just fine, so I don’t know what they did”.

So he recoiled: “In the first set he played very well and in the second set he was doing well. In the first è he was better than me, in the second I was the best. In the third one until he asked for the medical time-out è it was really a battle, there were long exchanges. It was really really tough. I was almost dying, è it was a struggle and I could see that he was struggling too. Like I said today è it was hot and humid. Especially being 10/12 minutes lì out for the stop sitting on the bench I was cooking, è it was tough. I just had to move around a bit’ and I’ll have to be smarter next time or wait off the field. Anyway sì, è it was too long a break”.

“Playing all matches for more than three hours is certainly not’ideal. I think what I can take away from this tournament è is trying to reach the level at which I played the second set today even earlier in the tournament. So I won’t have to play for three hours or more for all the matches and make it a little bit’ easier for me. Because Jannik, although I don t know the exact times he played, but I think he played less than me in these eight days. I think he was more fresh and that made the difference because he played at a high level and I needed the help of my legs. I had a knee problem last year, so to stop and restart in the middle of the set was difficult. Then I had a good treatment and was fine” concluded Rune.

Verona, Paolo Zanetti regrets the'only mistake

Published

on

These are the words of Verona coach Paolo Zanetti to Sky Sport after the 1-0 defeat against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.

“We took the goal on the’only mistake, the only blunder we made in a game, in my opinion, that was important, a game where we were in it against a high level Roma, but today we played a game with courage”.

“We really came here to really try also to play the game for a good part, we also lacked the important kick, normal that when you then leave space in the restart of such players, then afterwards all the quality comes out”.

“With the game we came many times to bring many men in Roma’s half of the field, in the area we made a lot of crosses, we often missed the last pass, we probably lacked a little bit’ of quality, with the understanding that we were also meeting a team that has players of the highest level”.

“So it wasn&#8220t easy, however, I can&#8217t say anything about the commitment and the desire to bring home points, then the details, as we know, make the difference in these matches””

concluded Zanetti.

These are the words of Roma coach Claudio Ranieri to the microphones of Sky Sport after the 1-0 victory against Verona.

“Champions League? It’s not easy, it’s one thing to say these guys are doing an extraordinary thing, it’s another to say we’re going to Champions.

“There is the dream, then there are the thoughts and then the’action. It is not a walk in the woods. We started the championship badly, but it has to finish possibly well”.

“There&#8217s a good group, that&#8217s why I don&#8217t stay. Then you have to give the new coach time to shape the team, with me it would be a lost year.

“We have a lot to do, right to step aside with a coach who knows what he wants”. On the possibility that Ancelotti might take his place, Ranieri says: “I don”t talk about the new coach anymore.

Ferrari’s disappointment, Lewis Hamilton demoralized

Published

on

Here are the words of Ferrari’s team principal Frederic Vasseur and the two Maranello factory drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, who were fourth and seventh, respectively, at the end of qualifying for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix at the Jeddah circuit.

“We are three tenths off pole position, it is true, but in the race we have a good pace. Since the beginning of the season we have always gone better in the race than in qualifying, so tomorrow anything is possible. It is true that we struggle a bit’ in Turn 1 but on the rest of the track we are on the times of the others.”

“Hamilton is almost nine tenths off pole and I think that because he still does not have total confidence in the car, he struggles a little bit’on this track so limited by the barriers– continued Vasseur -But in Bahrain Lewis made a good comeback and we think it can happen again tomorrow”.

“The disappointment is high, because it was a track on which we had higher hopes – added Leclerc -. Today is confirmation that we lack potential, although I am happy because I found the right direction in qualifying. It is difficult, but I extracted the maximum in my lap, risking going to the wall two or three times.”

“It was a tricky qualifying as always – says Hamilton -. This weekend I was nowhere to be found, I couldn’t even grow that much from session to session, however, I am grateful to have entered Q3, given the level. The last lap was not spectacular, but improvements we are making.”
