"Sinner's game resembles of Agassi" - says Corrado Barazzutti

Former world number seven Corrado Barazzutti thinks Jannik Sinner has what it takes to be number one as his game reminds him of Agassi.

Barazzutti has played and seen some superb tennis players in his time and as a 5x ATP champion and former number 7 the Italian knows tennis. Speaking in a recent interview, Barazzutti touched upon the Italian number one Jannik Sinner whom he compared to Agassi:

"In his comfort zone, near the back line, forehand and backhand, he has less room for improvement because he is already among the best in the world. So the thing that can improve is making even less mistakes . Fast hand, very fast feet, very good tennis."

He continued:

"He can serve and play the net better than it does now. Sinner is not a net player, but he has to go for a comfortable volley. (Sinner's game resembles that of) Agassi. As a type of game, not as a movement or physical. Sinner is a player who hits in that comfort zone like I've never seen anyone hit."

The Italian summarised his thoughts by saying:

"Sinner is a boy who has what it takes to become one of the strongest in the world. ... become number one in the world."
