Sinner has to play match of his life to have a chance against Djokovic believes Boris Becker
ATPWednesday, 12 July 2023 at 13:30
Former world number one Boris Becker believes that Italy’s Jannik
Sinner will have to play the best match of his life to have any chance of
beating Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon 2023 semifinal.
The 21-year-old booked his spot in the last-four clash at
the third Grand Slam of the year after beating Russia’s Roman Safiullin with a score
of 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 on Tuesday.
Becker, while responding to a user on a social media app
Instagram, stated that Sinner will have to play out of his skin to defeat the
current world number two.
“I really like Jannik and hopefully he gets his
game/mentality together! Remember he had Nole last year sets to love before the
warrior stormed back and won!” Becker said earlier this week.
Despite facing the most successful player in the history of
men’s singles tennis in the Open Era, Sinner will feel relatively confident after
securing a spot in his maiden Grand Slam semifinal.
The world number eight has lost just two sets in the entire tournament
which was against France’s Quentin Halys in the third round and Safiullin in
the quarterfinal.
Other than that, Sinner has secured three wins in straight
sets — against Argentina’s duo of Juan Manuel Cerundolo, Diego Schwartzman and
Colombia’s Daniel Elahi Galan.
