As it could not be otherwise, the coach of the recent champion of the 2025 Australian Open spoke to the media about his great achievement. Simone Vagnozzi had the opportunity to praise, once again, a Jannik Sinner who makes the difficult seem easy, especially in a Grand Slam tournament. The world number 1 managed to defend his title in Melbourne and reach his peak in the final against Alexander Zverev. Vagnozzi also clarified how his pupil is physically and how different this experience has been compared to last year, when he had just won his first Slam. Are they ready to take the final step in Roland Garros and Wimbledon as well?

- Surprised at not facing a single break point in the final

“I think he played the best match of the entire tournament. After the semifinal, someone asked me why he always plays his best tennis at the most difficult moment. Of course, today was a really important moment, so he stepped onto the court and played like that. He likes being in this position. And yes, I was surprised. It's not normal to not face any break points in the final. It was truly exceptional”.

- No concerns regarding physical condition

“Jannik had no issues with his hamstring. He wasn't at 100% in the match against Rune. It was very hot that day, that was the issue. In the match against Shelton, he had some cramps at one point. A 5-set match in a Grand Slam is very long, so these things can happen. He managed that moment very well. There will always be challenging moments during the two weeks of a tournament like this”.

- Differences from winning his first Slam there last year

“Of course, it's different. I see it now with a bit more confidence, with more composure. You also know that there are already two trophies at home, so it's a bit different. You know he will step onto the court with more confidence, knowing how to handle certain moments of the match better. I also think he is a completely different player. He has more confidence in his serve and in how he tactically plays throughout the match. All these things make the difference in winning these kinds of tournaments”.

- Potential to join the best in history

“He is still young. He has already won three tournaments. You never know what the future holds, but he will surely be the guy who tries to improve every day, goes to the court, trains, incorporates new things into his game, and also tries to improve physically. So I think he will be the kind of guy who can reach the highest level. When we talk about the highest level, we think of Novak, Roger, and Rafa. We still have a long way to go, but he will surely be the guy who can aspire to be like those players”.

- Roland Garros and Wimbledon, top goals

“His natural surface, I think, is hard court. Last year he reached the semifinals in Paris and the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. The year before, semifinals. Clay is a bit more challenging, but I think he can also play well there and try to win Roland Garros. I think at Wimbledon last year, he had a bit of bad luck because he wasn't at 100% when he lost to Medvedev. Anyway, we probably have to make some small changes as well to win Wimbledon. I think we have a chance to be ready to try to win both tournaments. We'll see”.

- Natural talent

“I was not with him at the beginning of his career. He is an incredible talent and mentally very strong. When he wants something, he tries to do it to the best of his ability. So sometimes when someone talks about Jannik, they only mention his groundstroke or his power. But I, as a coach, when I ask him for something, he can do it fairly quickly. That's a very important talent for a tennis player or for other sports. I think a lot of that is natural. He could be a good skier or football player. Fortunately, he chose tennis”.
