Italian former tennis player Paolo Bertolucci showed great optimism about Jannik Sinner's chances at Wimbledon. In statements published by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the 74-year-old man believes that the world number one has a very favorable path to reach, at least, the semifinals of the third Grand Slam of the season.

"Basically, the draw sets him on a highway at least until the semifinal with Djokovic. Sport and tennis have accustomed us to surprises, but barring cataclysms – as happened in Paris – it's hard not to imagine Sinner at least among the top four of the tournament," Bertolucci stated.

The Italian's words come on the day Sinner plays the round of 16 against Japanese Shintaro Mochizuki. If he clears this hurdle, the current circuit leader would face either Hubert Hurkacz or Jan-Lennard Struff in the quarterfinals. In a hypothetical semifinal, the most likely opponent would be Novak Djokovic.

Adapting to grass, key for Sinner

Bertolucci also highlighted how Sinner is managing his early matches on the grass in London, a surface that demands an adaptation process even for the best players on the circuit. "Champions use the initial matches to acclimate to the surface changes, to test their feelings and find the feeling with their shots, before raising their level as technical difficulties increase. Sinner is aware of the moment, and the way he is managing his journey undoubtedly allows for optimism," he explained.

With the Italian still in full competition, the draw seems to offer him an unbeatable opportunity to reach the decisive rounds. However, he must first confirm the predictions on the court and overcome a challenging path that begins this Sunday against Mochizuki.
