Panatta: «Sinner is like Mike Tyson in his early years»

Italian Adriano Panatta, winner of the 1976 French Open, praised the skills of world number one Yannick Cinner.

«Cinner is like Mike Tyson in his early years, he is the best. He has the necessary mentality to play and dominate. He never waits, he always attacks. That's the big difference between him and the others, like Carlos Alcaraz when he's in good shape. And basically, the Spaniard is the only one who can beat him. I don't even think Novak Djokovic can beat him today, especially in a best-of-five set», Panatta's We love tennis quotes Panatta as saying.

In these minutes, Cinner is playing Britain's Jack Draper in the semifinals of the US Open-2024.
