“I like to think as a Sardinian that there was a passing of the baton between Gigi Riva and Jannik, two extraordinary champions and two examples for the younger generations”

“We experienced an extraordinary emotion, one of those dates that we have dreamed of seeing all our lives. Thanks to this fantastic athlete we have achieved an incredible result. His opponent must be acknowledged for having played two sets at a stratospheric level”: this is how the president of Fitp, Angelo Binaghi, spoke to SuperTennis.
“We were all waiting for the third hour of the game, it could have represented the watershed between a perky Medvedev and a Medvedeev with more lactic acid. Sinner is an extraordinary champion – he added -. I like to think as a Sardinian that there it was a passing of the baton between Gigi Riva and Jannik, two extraordinary champions and two examples for the younger generations. Two heritages of our entire country. Two champions like this, for the values they manage to convey, I believe are fundamental in trying to have a better society.”
Binaghi looks ahead: “You don’t have to stop. Now we have to run even more than before, we will have to multiply our efforts – he concluded – Jannik won his first Slam. We can say that he will play between 80 and 100 major tournaments including Slams, Nitto ATP Finals, Internazionali BNL d’Italia and Davis Cup. I believe that someone else will be able to win” (ANSA).
