"Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal would never have said such things," says young ace


Jannik Sinner won the ATP tournament in Sofia and become the youngest Italian tennis player in history to win an ATP title. However, he also received huge criticism. Corriere della Sera journalist Aldo Cazzullo who published a letter with which he carried out a very hard attack on the number 37 in the world. Jannik Sinner was not happy with the 'excuse' that Alexander Zverev gave after his Roland Garros defeat. Rafael Nadal later defeated Sinner in the quarters, but not before the youngster won hearts with his spirited showing. During the same interview, the Italian player lauded Nadal's playing style, while also mentioning that he would love to face Roger Federer, Dominic Thiem and Novak Djokovic soon. "I respect him a lot because he's won more than me, he's got more experience on the circuit, and he's a great player," Jannik Sinner said. "However, I do not respect his statements after his defeat to me at Roland Garros. He contradicted himself a lot. He said he had a fever, but in the third and fourth sets, he ran more than me." The win against Alexander Zverev in the fourth round is by far the biggest of Jannik Sinner's career so far. After his loss, Zverev told the press he should have withdrawn from the match. "It seems to me that he was looking for an excuse after his defeat. Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal, for example, would never have said such things," Sinner added.
