Karin Knapp open-hearted about Jannik Sinner and women’s blue tennis

During an interview given to the microphones of “Supertennis”, former tennis player Karin Knapp, among other topics, è returned to the historic 2024 experienced by Italian tennis. More specifically, the Brunico native wanted to highlight the climb to the top by Jannik Sinner and the exponential growth Italian tennis had in the WTA.

“Jannik è an extraterrestrial and there are no words to describe him. To see that from a small region like’è South Tyrol come out such capable tennis players è is a wonderful feeling, especially because è all the attention è is on winter sports. Even a coach as prepared and appreciated by everyone as Simobe Vagnozzi è been so much with us in Caldaro. Perhaps Jannik è was inspired by our achievements in deciding to pursue a career in tennis rather than skiing” began the former Italian tennis player.

“There’è little to say about women&#39s tennis as well. We have Jasmine who è in the top 10 in the world and together with Sara Errani is showing impressive things in both singles and doubles. Lucia Bronzetti, Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Martina Trevisan should also not be forgotten. In addition, players such as Stefanini and Brancaccio can still have their say, since in tennis today careers have stretched so far that identity cards are no longer an issue. The most important thing è is to keep believing in it, becauseé work always pays” added the Brunico native.

“With Lucia we have a beautiful relationship, we spend many hours together even if my husband Francesco goes on tour. If I can, every now and then, I try to make myself useful with some advice. Bronzetti had a very busy start to the season, but she is playing good tennis. She is a hard worker who is always trying to improve and add something new to her repertoire.

Joshua Zirkzee, season over: first year at United to forget

Published

on

Joshua Zirkzee’s first season in a Manchester United shirt is ending in the worst way. The Dutch striker, who arrived from Bologna last summer for more than 40 million euros, suffered a serious hamstring injury in his left knee during the last Premier League match against Newcastle. Confirming the news was coach Ruben Amorim himself in his pre-Europa League press conference, “Zirkzee will not be available for the rest of the season. He has to think about recovery and preparing for next year.”

A real mockery for the talented youngster, who was experiencing a positive moment in terms of personal growth, despite an overall complicated season for the Red Devils. Zirkzee thus ends his first year at Old Trafford with 7 goals and 3 assists in 48 total appearances, a haul perhaps lower than expected, but still indicative of a player who was finding space and confidence.

Manchester United’s season, punctuated by injuries and fluctuating performances, might only find a small light in the eventual Europa League victory. But the loss of Zirkzee at this crucial moment represents yet another tile on an already very complicated year for Amorim.

Ahead of the summer, the former Bologna man’s future remains to be written. The English club is already planning to intervene in the market again to reinforce the offensive department. And while it seems difficult to think of an immediate transfer of Zirkzee after only one year, it is not excluded that one between him and Højlund could leave Old Trafford. The return to the field, in any case, will not come until next season.
