ATP – WTA > Sinner: “I had the chance to get to know Maria Sharapova and she is a very special person”

Although he is no longer coached by the man who taught him almost everything, Riccardo Piatti, Jannik Sinner has been able to benefit for years from the Italian coach’s expertise and incredible network.

Indeed, while he took care of several great champions like Ivan Ljubicic or Novak Djokovic, Piatti, who also trained Maria Sharapova, introduced the Russian player to his former foal last November. And the latter has obviously not always recovered.

“I had the chance to get to know her a bit more and she is a very special person. We also trained a few times together on the court. I think she was a very impressive player with, of course, an outstanding mentality. She had an amazing mindset. And what she has done for the sport is also great. Yes, I think I’m very lucky to know her. »
