I'm a Djokovic fan, but I really like this kid. I love when he plays Novak because I'm happy whoever wins that match. Tennis will be in good hands in the future.
Great interview. I enjoyed Jannik speaking about himself, acknowledging the spectators, and his countrymen in Itay. I might try his racket. The second time I saw him play in a pro. tournament, I realized the great potential he had. Congratulations Jannik for all your achievements. I wish you number 1 because you are capable of achieving that title.
There is a video where he explains how, when he was young 14 or 15? He searched the net and bought a device to string his own racquets, it shows how he used to do it. So i guess he became knowledgeable about what type of stringing swits his game
Holy! I am now a fan. What a low-key, humble personality from Sinner. And what an interview by Courier. I loved that ‘spicy’ interplay from him. Good stuff. So nice to know that Sinner has just won the AO-wish I had known he was this kind of person-I would have watched the match…. Next time. I’m now in his corner. Wacky coincidence that my two new favorite players are the AO 2024 champions.
I loved this interview. So funny, great job by the interviewer and Sinner. As much as Alcaraz is a great guy too, I'm rooting for Sinner out of the next gen folks.
for the comparision - most of the ATP uses string tension ~23-24kg Sinner uses 28, Mannarino is the lowest with 12kg 28kg for the co-poly string is MASSIVE. I hope he won't get any wrist/arm injuries in the future.
@@Maliilse75the lower the tension equals more powers usually but less control. I would bet no one on the planet could play like Mannarino with his tension, it’s unbelievable how he controls it
@@Maliilse75 lower the tension = more trampoline effect on the stringbed. Which is more free power. Mannarino controls his ball with spin and compact swing. Especially on forehand.

Courrier conducts the best interviews👍
Jim is wonderful with interviews 😊
He' s beautiful. To be honest ❤❤
I like this cat. You know he's not going to get into the weight that's added, knowing every stick in that bag bag is fine tuned

Really funny great interview!!
Sinner should of been in that charity match with Novak not Stefanos I mean…Sinner is hilarious 😆 he would have been so entertaining with Novak 🤣

Fun fact, Courier was the youngest man to reach the finals of all 4 grand slams at the age of 22. He won Aus Open twice and French Open twice.
I really wanted to find out more about the racquet
Lol
28kg is 60lbs. That's pretty tight!
