The former Italian tennis player Filippo Volandri, guest at the Lemon Bowl, analyzed the extraordinary moment that Italian tennis has experienced, at the end of a simply amazing 2024. The captain of his team in Davis Cup obviously also focused on Jannik Sinner, making a prediction for the ATP No.1 in 2025.
The goal for the entire Italian movement must be to continue improving to experience other dream seasons like the last two. The leader of this incredible group will be the first one called to defend the success obtained at the Australian Open last year. Trying to repeat yourself often increases the pressure along the way; not for a champion of the caliber of Jannik Sinner, now used to playing certain matches.
"If there's someone who has broad shoulders and knows how to handle difficulties, it's Jannik. I hope not only that he confirms his form, but that he improves, also because he is not one to be satisfied. Jannik always needs new stimuli and he has them in his head to start from where he left off. As far as I'm concerned, I'm sure he will have another extraordinary season," he said, before changing chapter and thinking about the next edition of the Davis Cup.
In 2025 the Davis Cup Finals will be played in Bologna, which will be an extra motivation to aim for the hat-trick: "If we were looking for an extra stimulus after the two victories, we found it since we will be playing at home in Bologna."
"The results obtained by our tennis in 2024 were extraordinary, repeating them would already be excellent. Regardless of this, we have learned a lot in the last year and we don't necessarily have to win everything every season. We must always look to improve, working hard and broadening the horizon of our projects," he then added.
