"There is room for further growth": Italian Federation president reveals thoughts on Jannik Sinner

Italian Tennis Federation President Angelo Binaghi believes that Jannik Sinner still has a lot of room to improve.

The 22-year-old is often regarded as one of the best young talent available in the men’s singles tennis currently playing in the circuit alongside Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and America’s Ben Shelton.

However, Binaghi was recently quoted in a report where he stated that there is definitely room for improvement in the game of Sinner, who according to him is a ‘less complete’ player than other highly-rated youngsters.

"Sinner's fortune lies in his weaknesses,” he said. “He is a much less complete player than the three ahead of him. The fact that he continues to have endurance limits or needs to improve aspects, such as his service and smash, tells us that there is room for further growth."

Sinner has had a mixed year at the highest level where despite playing in the main round of all the Grand Slams, he only managed to qualify for the quarterfinal or beyond on just one occasion.

His most impressive outing in a major event in 2023 came while playing at Wimbledon where he lost the semifinal to the current world number one and Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 7-6.
