The words of Angelo Binaghi

Angelo Binaghi not only enjoys Jannik Sinner: “This year we celebrate two phenomena. We have a champion we never even dreamed of. But since the beginning of the year, since the Australian Open, ours è a system victory. Jasmine Paolini played two Slam finals in singles, she won in Rome and the Olympics with Sara Errani, Musetti won a medal in the Olympics. At Roland Garros we played three finals. On the first phenomenon we don&#39t have anything to do with, on the second one maybe we did something good as well”.

“Jannik won without playing very well, he converted two of the first nine break points and many he played on the opponent&#39s second ball. He played a great tie-break, è that changed gears: the first six points he played great. That’s what happens to great champions, who manage to bring the match home in three sets even though they don&#39t play great,&#39 added. “Sinner è a champion and he does these things here, we keep rooting for him”.

Comment on the mixed doubles victory of Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori: “Sara è a legend, she deserves it all because of the passion, the negative vicissitudes she had to endure. Vavassori won the first Slam of her life, I am convinced she will win more. To have a strong doubles player like him together with Bolelli will be important in terms of Davis in Bologna where we have to try to qualify for the final stage”.

The words of Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner spoke at a press conference after reaching his first final at the Us Open: “It was a very physical match, I tried to stay in the match mentally. It was a special occasion against a tough opponent to beat, I am happy to play the final”.

“I am happy to be in the final, whoever I face will be a difficult challenge,” added the South Tyrolean, before finding out that his rival will be Fritz, victorious over Tiafoe -. I am looking forward to the second final of the season. We keep trying to improve and every time we play a final it means we have worked well”.

Fitting comment on physical condition: “The wrist is fine, when you fall on concrete it è not the best but we treated it right away. It è nothing serious. Different match, Draper had not lost any set. He è dropped in the third set. I am happy with how we prepared the match and then handled it. Do I feel the pressure? I feel it and è a privilege. I always give my best in every tournament, but here in New York I have been doing well and playing better and better from match to match. Now I will try to do what I can in the final on Sunday”.

Sinner in the finals

He è did not succeed in the shot put. Not even friend Jack Draper è could stop the march of Jannik Sinner, who è deservedly landed in the final of the U.S. Open being held on the concrete courts of Flushing Meadows.

The Briton, however, tried everything to bar his rival’s way. Jannik, who at times è seemed to have problems with his grip because of the high humidity, in the first set took the lead only at 5-5, going on to win the partial 7-5.

Even more hard-fought was the second partial, which had its epilogue only at the tie-break: the world number 1 managed to change gears immediately and stretch, flying to 4-0, to go on to close on a convincing 7-3.

Sinner has his hands on the match but does not exploit the break ball that would take him to 2-0 in the third set. Jannik makes up for it in the sixth game: break and 4-2. Draper has no choice but to raise the white flag: the set ends 6-2 for the world No. 1.
