The German opens up in an interview about his breakthrough in tennis, comparing it to Lamine Yamal, and affirming that Djokovic "has finally gained the respect he deserved".
The only two Chinese players who have entered the Top 50 of the ATP ranking have suffered injuries that have kept them out of the circuit for more than six months, and they will play together in the doubles at the ATP Beijing.
The American also praised Djokovic "because only Sinner and Alcaraz are better than him" and puts pressure on Tsitsipas and Zverev: "They are running out of opportunities".
The former tennis player advocates for increasing the speed of the courts in search of greater equality, since with the current conditions, many tennis players "need to hit extraordinary winning shots to beat Sinner."
