In the last two years he hasn't got one right, I am referring in particular to his statements."

The former Italian champion, winner of Roland Garros in 1976, continued: "I don't like today's tennis, I would say that it bores me.

Both are very strong and modern athletes, I must say that they are very different from each other." Currently both Sinner and Berrettini are stopped: the first is at rest after recent physical problems and is working in view of the next tournaments while Berrettini has recently received information and is stopped due to injury.
