Coach of Jannik Sinner since he was 13 years old, Riccardo Piatti returned to the course of his colt who finished the season at a very good 10e world place. The young Italian even had the opportunity to play two matches at the Masters as a substitute. But to listen to his coach, it will now be necessary to qualify directly.
“The goal is to play 55 to 60 matches: that’s the number of matches needed to qualify for the ATP Finals. Given the level of the tournaments in which he participates, if he manages to play this number of matches, he will certainly end up in the top 8 in the world ”, said the coach who returned to the positive points of this 2021 season. “Play in 13 new tournaments, which we had never been to before. Having seen places he had never been to and having experienced different conditions is a very important factor that will come in handy in 2022. To give an example, Madrid and Barcelona are two tournaments on clay and Spain, but the playing conditions demand two different ways of interpreting the game. Jannik did well in Barcelona, then in Madrid he lost to Popyrin because he ‘he played like in Barcelona. When he returns to Madrid in 2022, he will know that this is a tournament which, because it is played at high altitude, requires similar metrics to those used for indoor matches. “
