"There is no reason why he can’t do very well": Jannik Sinner has game for all surfaces as Andy Murray assesses Wimbledon chances

Andy Murray believes rising star Jannik Sinner has potential to thrive on all surfaces, as the two-time Wimbledon champion backed the Italian to do well at the grass major this year.
Sinner picked up his first Grand Slam at the Australian Open last month. Last year, he reached the semi final at the All England Club, and Murray gave his thoughts on the 22-year-old's chances in 2024. "“I mean, I think with the way he hits the ball, I think on all of the surfaces he will, you know, have good results,” the former World No 1 said.
“I would say the hard courts just now are probably his best surface. I think he moves extremely well on the hard courts. Moving on the grass courts is, you know, it’s a little bit different, but, I mean, in terms of the way, like, he serves and hits the ball, yeah, there is no reason why he can’t do very well on the grass."
Sinner also won the Rotterdam Open - his 12th ATP singles title - and dumped out defending champion Novak Djokovic in Melbourne en route to his epic comeback against Daniil Medvedev in the final. "I watched quite a lot of the final in Australia," added Murray.
"Yeah, he did unbelievably well to come back and win that match from the position that he was in. It was obviously a great effort. After winning the first one, I’m sure he’ll go on to win more."

- On the subject of potential Losers in Tennis... Why is the tennis media avoiding the news that Giorgi and Family robbed their landlord in Florence? Apparently they did some Midnight Marketing and stole antique and collectible items belonging to the landlord's family (including large furniture and miscellaneous Family History items). The old guy and his mother just want their 'history' back, even though they are losing thousands of Euro's in 6 months of unpaid rent. This man makes it clear the father is the main player behind this sudden disappearance (and the tax dodging in Italy).
mandoist20-05-2024 - Seems like Emma is taking the Giorgi and Bouchard route -- using occasional Tennis as a media hit for their alternate ambitions (zooming sponsors, photo shoots, magazine covers, TV commercials, anti-Social Media postings, hiring photog's to make "informal" shots of her on vacation, etc., etc.) Hey, WTA! Hey, Sponsors! You're being played to the tune of millions of misspent Euros and Pounds!!mandoist20-05-2024
