Present this week in Argentina alongside his player, Carlos Alcaraz, at the ATP 250 in Buenos Aires, Juan Carlos Ferrero gave a long and beautiful interview to our colleagues res of The nation.
Asked about the consequences of the emergence of Jannik Sinner, the former world number 1, without forgetting to mention the eternal Novak Djokovic, estimated that this would allow his foal to raise his level of play even further.
 We knew this moment was coming for Sinner ; he had been knocking on the door for a long time, he seemed to have the tennis to win Grand Slam tournaments. Physically, there was maybe a little doubt because he was very thin, but once he toughened up and matured, he responded. ©also. He is a player to watch at every tournament, a major contender for victory, just like Carlos. I think his emergence was a bit like when Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer came along, they were pulling each other up, until Djokovic came along. , and now it’s Novak who pushes Carlos and Jannik a little. When Djokovic won the Masters (in Turin) with his level of play, I said to Carlos: ‘Did you see that ? Now we have to train like beasts to reach Novak’s level. Jannik will do it and we must do it. And he replied: ‘Yes, yes, yes, yes, we will do everything to make it happen.’ In other words, it’s a question of motivation. This is emulation. Between the three of them, and the others, Zverev, Tsitsipas, Rune, they have to feed off each other.”
