"The Italians are passionate and emotional like me, while Jannik is serious and compassionate. Becoming No 1 with you is a potentially disruptive role, [...]. With what generosity will Sinner be willing to give himself to a starving country? He repeats that he is only focused on improvement. I am curious to find out. [...] A position [number one] not easy to hold, indeed. The eyes always on you, the pressure, everyone pulling you by the jacket. Where does Sinner usually rest in Italy? Does he know he has to go around escorted? He's a quiet and reserved guy, who likes to travel under the radar: he's going to bump into Italian enthusiasm. I wish him fun in the leadership role, to give himself some room to manoeuvre, otherwise the number one risks crushing him."
