Once again it was a fifth set that prevented Jannik Sinner from pulling off a great feat in a Grand Slam tournament. After Wimbledon in the direct confrontation with Novak Djokovic and at the Us Open against the then winner Carlos Alcaraz, history repeated itself also at the 2023 edition of the Australian Open.
The Italian recovered two sets behind Stefanos Tsitsipas, who however managed to react and win, thus conquering the quarterfinals in Melbourne. On the hard-fought match, which divided fans quite a bit about the Italian player’s performance on the court, Paolo Bertolucci decided to give his personal opinion on the pages of the Gazzetta dello Sport.
The former Italian tennis legend immediately underlined: “Unlike last year, when our Italian didn’t never entered the heart of the challenge and had no chance to counter his rival, this last match turned out to be a real match.” The commentator for Sky Sport then added in the interview: “Once again it ended badly for the Italian, who has few regrets.
Having stood up to one of the best tennis players on the circuit for four hours certifies, without shadow of a doubt, the progress made by Sinner in recent months.”
