“Sinner will win Wimbledon”, tennis big’s ‘prophecy’ after ko at Roland Garros

“I didn’t expect the Italians to still be here“, admitted McEnroe in an interview with La Stampa, “on the other hand Cobolli is the second highest seed in that part of the draw, he is a guy who knows what he is doing. He’s a great athlete. Then I love Berrettini, seeing him come back after everything he’s been through, and potentially against Flavio it could be a semi-final.”

Then McEnroe returned to Sinner’s knockout: “It’s like Superman being hit with kryptoniteit’s not fun to play in that state”, said the former American tennis player, “I was lucky enough not to suffer from cramps, at least when I played: now it happens to me all the time and it’s a terrible feeling”.

“Jannik is very light-skinned, I know they are doing everything they can to find a solution and still he was one game away from winning,” he continued, “one game more and today we would be talking about him. Sometimes you lose and it’s not your opponent’s fault, and that’s a horrible thing. In any sport.” However, there is no doubt about the next Wimbledon, the Slam at which Sinner will arrive as reigning champion: “He can win it again, absolutely yes“.
