Former world number one Serena Williams gave a big compliment to Italy’s young tennis star Jannik Sinner after watching him play at the Miami Open.
The 22-year-old is often regarded as one of the most highly-rated players currently playing in the men’s singles category alongside Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz.
Sinner lived up to the hype once again as he registered a thumping win over the current world number four Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the semifinal of the ongoing ATP 1000 event with a score of 6-1, 6-2 on Friday.
Williams, who was watching the match from the stands, came down to the court to meet Sinner and gave him a big compliment.
“I wish I had my forehand like that. No seriously, the racquet head, the power. I was like, ‘Wow.’ Night and day, you’re unbelievable,” the 42-year-old American said.
After the match, Sinner explained the impact of Medvedev on his career after registering a fifth consecutive win over the Russian tennis star.
“It’s going to be interesting to see now in the future what’s happening, what’s he’s gonna change, where I have to be very clear with my mind,” he said.
“But for sure he’s a player who made me a better player, because, you know, I had to, for example in Beijing, I started to serve and volley. Then in Vienna I tried to serve and volley but it was not working again.
“So here I had to be very careful on couple of things, but, you know, these kind of players, they make you a better player. It sometimes doesn’t really matter the head-to-head, but it matters how you understand from your losses and trying to learn.
“That’s what I have been trying in the last years not only with him but also with other opponents, and this makes me, yeah, a better player.”
