The victory of Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon has sparked a wave of praise in Italy, and one of the most notable analyses has come from Paolo Bertolucci. The former Italian tennis player believes that reclaiming the title was an even greater challenge than winning it for the first time and highlights the enormous competitive maturity shown by the world number one throughout the tournament.

In his column for La Gazzetta dello Sport, Bertolucci recalled that repeating success of such magnitude is always more difficult than achieving it for the first time. In his opinion, Sinner has proven that he belongs to a special category of champions by being able to defend the crown at the All England Club just a year after lifting the most prestigious trophy on grass for the first time. During the conversation, the former tennis player analyzed the Italian's journey to a new title in London.

The Davis Cup champion also drew a parallel between the two consecutive Wimbledon titles. In both cases, he explained, Sinner arrived in London after a significant disappointment. If one time it was the painful defeat to Carlos Alcaraz in the Roland Garros final, in the other, the setback came much earlier, with an unexpected early exit in the initial rounds of the Parisian tournament. However, he believes that both experiences raised doubts that the Italian managed to transform into motivation.

Bertolucci also dismissed the idea that the final could have been easier by facing Alexander Zverev instead of Carlos Alcaraz. As he explained, the German probably played the best match of his career on grass during the first two sets and put Sinner under enormous pressure right from the start.

Precisely because of that, the former tennis player believes that the decisive moment of the match came in the second set. According to Bertolucci, Sinner understood that he could not afford to fall behind by two sets and played an extraordinary tiebreak that completely changed the course of the final. From that moment on, he remained calm, waited for Zverev's slight drop in level, and took absolute control of the match until sealing the victory.

The Italian also highlighted Sinner's ability to stand firm in moments of maximum demand. He stated that he never took a step back when the match was tight and knew how to impose his tennis as soon as he spotted the slightest opportunity to do so.

To conclude, Bertolucci affirmed that the consecutive double at Wimbledon confirms that Sinner is destined to make his mark. He believes that, due to his age, he still has many years ahead to expand his list of achievements and emphasized that his behavior on and off the court makes him a role model for the new generations. In his view, the current Wimbledon champion is a source of pride for all of Italian sports and an example of professionalism, balance, and ambition.
