Coach of Jannik Sinner since he was 13, Riccardo Piatti has stepped up to defend his player, accused of not respecting the national team’s jersey after his withdrawal for the Tokyo Olympics this summer. Yet very present for the Davis Cup this week, in Turin, where he has not lost a single match in three games, the last of which against Marin Cilic on Monday evening, the 10e world player has perfectly demonstrated that the Italian shirt is really important to him.
“It’s ridiculous to think Jannik doesn’t care about the blue jersey. He was honest as always: before he didn’t feel ready, he was tired, he did what he thought was right. In fact, he just played until 3:00 am to try to win double with Fognini ”, launched a Riccardo Piatti back against Jannik’s detractors.
