Jannik Sinner: the anticipation and mental strength that distinguish him

But the wait for Sinner, to quote the philosopher, is it Sinner itself? One would say so. The news of the last two days says so, which tell of fans outside the Monte Carlo Country Club who are waiting to finally see Jannik on the pitch, even if only for the allenamenti: dreams erased yesterday by the weather, Tuesday by the number one's choice to work only in the gym.

This tranquility is also a sign of strength: Sinner certainly can't wait to get back to playing, imagine if he isn't able to find an indoor court, but the awareness of having worked well on some specific points during the forced stop due to the suspension agreed with the Wada it seems to leave him really at peace.

The other sign of power is the cracks that have opened up in the certainties of the opponents while Jannik and his ranking were defenseless and at least two, Zverev e alcaraz, had the opportunity to oust him from the throne of ATP ranking. They didn't make it because they went into a psychological tailspin, by their own admission. As if it were much easier to be determined with a real enemy in front of you, as if having an empty field on the other side put them in front of the mirror and showed the real difference between him, Jannik, and all the others: it's not the technique, it's not the physique.

It's all in your head.
