[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Berrettini on being forced to retire from his match against Arnaldi, ‘I’m tired of retiring…. I feel like it was taken away, the chance to perform until the last point, to try… I’ll try to go back home with a smile on my face’ 💔

“How hard was it to make the decision to stop?”

Matteo: “It was really hard because I thought it wasn’t the right thing. But mostly because I’ve done it many times, and I’m tired of retiring. I didn’t want the tournament to end like this. I just wanted to finish my match, losing… winning… obviously it was important but it’s a different feeling when you go home and you just think about what you could’ve done better if you lost the match like this. I feel like it was taken away, the chance to perform until the last point, to try. It’s a little bit what happened in the last years. But I have to take the good stuff that I did this tournament. A few weeks ago, a few days ago it would’ve been crazy to think about me in the quarterfinals. I’ll try to go back home with a smile on my face. It’s gonna be tough but that’s how I’d like to approach these two weeks. Of course I’m disappointed. I’m sad. But I’m also proud of the way I fought through this tournament.”

Il malore che ha fermato Jannik #Sinner al #RolandGarros ha lasciato tutti senza parole riaprendo i giochi in uno Slam in cui l'Italia continua a sognare con Cobolli, Berrettini e Arnaldi.

Non solo per la sconfitta, ma soprattutto per il modo in cui è arrivata: improvvisa, inattesa, quasi incomprensibile per chi è abituato a vedere il numero uno del mondo dominare gli avversari.

Per capire cosa può essere successo e cosa lascia in eredità un episodio del genere, ho parlato con Gipo Arbino, storico ex allenatore di Lorenzo Sonego, di giocatori come Travaglia e oggi Romano e una delle voci più autorevoli del tennis italiano.

Un'intervista che è andata ben oltre il "caso Sinner", toccando i giovani talenti, il ruolo delle famiglie, l'evoluzione del tennis e i valori che servono per arrivare in alto.

"Non è il caldo, questo è poco ma sicuro. Probabilmente ha avuto uno scompenso legato a qualcosa di generale, che gli ha provocato anche il vomito. È una cosa che va indagata assolutamente".

"Ha dato la risposta giusta: amici cari, ce l'ho messa tutta, ma non sono un robot. Sono un essere umano anch'io. Se sto male, sto male".

"Non è ancora arrivato alla sua forma definitiva come giocatore e come uomo. È ancora in fase di crescita. Se già oggi è un rullo compressore che trita gli avversari, immaginate cosa potrà diventare tra qualche anno".

Sui nuovi talenti che stanno emergendo:

"Fonseca è fortissimo. Però basta guardare le partite: hanno ancora dei punti deboli. Sono ragazzi normali che stanno diventando grandi giocatori. Lui invece è un fenomeno".

Sul lavoro con i giovani e il rischio di bruciare le tappe:

"Avere dei campioni da emulare è molto bello, ma a volte si vogliono imitare situazioni troppo prematuramente. Mi chiedono il coach privato per ragazzi di 12 o 13 anni che magari non hanno ancora il livello".

E una riflessione che farà discutere molti genitori:

"Il problema, in giovane età, sono spesso i genitori. Bisogna educarli e fargli capire che tutta la fase giovanile è una semina per il futuro".

Poi la frase che forse riassume meglio la sua filosofia:

"Se tu sei una grande persona, probabilmente diventerai anche un grande atleta. Se invece sei solo uno che colpisce bene la palla, ma fuori dal campo non hai equilibrio e valori, è difficile che tu possa reggere a quel livello".

E infine il ritratto di Sinner che va oltre il campione:
"Continua a essere un esempio, soprattutto fuori dal campo. Non l'ho mai visto cambiare. Ed è questa la cosa più importante".

@altrisung For me I’m just going to pivot to the World Cup! It only comes around once every four years so I would rather focus on that.

Jannik Sinner RG R2 Recap:

Once upon a time, in a land quite near, lived a young maiden called Cindernik.

Cindernik was good and kind, and had the best hand-eye coordination in all of the land. She worked very hard, day and night, hitting small yellow balls over a net.

Unfortunately, she also had two evil stepsisters, called Oppressive Heat and Victorian Child Constitution, who were jealous of her talent, and worked hard to make her life as difficult as possible.

One day, Cindernik received an invitation to attend a ball at the magical Roland Garros palace. She had dreamed of attending for a long time, as she knew that the King and Queen awarded a golden trophy to the fairest maiden who could best connect a ball and a racquet. However, her jealous stepsisters forbid her from attending, and locked her in a Parisian hotel room.

Luckily, Cindernik had four fairy godparents, who planned to help her attend the ball, without her stepsisters finding out. So, they freed her, swapped her usual blue hat for a white one, and changed her name to “Little Miss Variety”, to ensure she would not be recognised. However, Ale-Alejandro warned her that she MUST enter the Round 3 ballroom before the clock struck 2pm, or her disguises would fade, and her evil stepsisters would recognize and punish her.

Little Miss Variety smiled and nodded excitedly, and promised the fairies that she would be careful. However, she was having such a wonderful time in the Round 2 auditorium dancing to the serve-and-volley, blowing sweet drop shot kisses, and nibbling on delicious passing shot canapés, that she forgot to watch the time. She was preparing one final twirl of her racquet, before she entered the Round 3 ballroom and the start of her happily ever after, when the palace clock began to toll ominously.

Cindernik panicked, and swung her racquet wildly, but it was too late. Her evil stepsisters materialised out of thin air, and immediately turned her legs to jelly so she couldn’t flee into the safety of Round 3.

Cindernik pleaded with them to let her go, and tried to fight her wobbly lower limbs by using her racquet as a walking stick. Her stepsisters merely laughed wickedly, and even toyed with her by lifting the hex for a few seconds at a time. Cindernik’s sweet little mice friends tried desperately to help her, and even brought ice towels to try and freeze the curse, but the black magic was just too powerful.

Finally, Cindernik’s legs wobbled and gave out one last time, just four steps away from the Round 3 ballroom, and the entrance door slammed shut in her face. As their sibling collapsed in defeat, her stepsisters cackled delightedly, and then clicked their fingers and vanished.

Cindernik’s fairy godparents could only watch on sadly from afar. The lead fairy, Vagno, grumbled that their young charge never listened to their advice, and he should not have even bothered reading “Happily Ever Afters for Dummies” to try and help her. His sidekick, Papa Darren, reassured him that they could try again next year, when Cindernik’s stepsisters would hopefully be travelling abroad.

With the jelly-legs spell finally broken, Cindernik dragged herself up out of the dirt and back home. She sighed sadly as she packed her beautiful blue ballgown away, but she knew there would be another Roland Garros ball, and her evil siblings would not stop her from attending this one, meeting a handsome trophy, and living happily ever after.

The End

Fairytale plagiarism aside, Fox Boy’s unexpected early loss was a tough pill to swallow. 😢 But, it takes nothing away from the objective fact that his dirt season has still been a resounding success. So, for now, it’s just an extra vacation week in the Maldives, and then back to the hunt for more happily-ever-afters on the grass and the cement. 💪

So, rest up, Fox Boy, and we’ll see you back on the green stuff soon - bring on the Wimby whites! 🤍💚💜

FORZA. 🦊🧡

Essere #sinneristi

trascorrere tutta la giornata vitali come zombi,
ma essere felici come bambini davanti al bancone dei gelati
