The crisis of the Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner continues. After a good start to 2023, Sinner plunged back into a crisis of results, in some ways inexplicable. The Italian was Top 5 in the Race then slowly began to suffer heavy defeats, especially against non-eminent athletes, as it happened at the ATP ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
If in the past the Italian was strong against the weak and only lost against the top players on the Tour, now even this particular curiosity seems to have vanished. Three defeats in the last five games and a Jannik bordering on unrecognizable, knockout against Cerundolo in Rome and Altmaier at the Roland Garros and even the season on grass starts very badly.
Jannik was the favorite here in the Netherlands at Hertogenbosch after the knockout of Daniil Medvedev, but a clear defeat in two sets against Emil Ruusuvuori has come today. The Italian was ahead 5-0 in the previous matches, and the defeat came on the sixth occasion.
Disappointment especially in the way it arrived, with a rather disappointing Jannik. The former tennis player Paolo Bertolucci commented on social media, thus criticizing the performance: “What happened to Jannik? Slow, foul and confused, he seems to have lost his coordinates.” Here is the tweet that appeared on the profile of the current commentator:
Cosa è successo a @janniksin ? Lento, falloso e confuso, sembra aver smarrito le coordinate.

A Jannik that is truly different from the one we have admired on American hard courts and who has come close to winning several times in major tournaments. Disappointing in the service and above all in the attitude, he appeared too submissive and Sinner is called to ransom as soon as possible.
Not only Bertolucci because in these hours Jannik has gone viral on social media with many who have criticized his difficult moment. A real pity for the greatest Italian talent of recent years, who is unable to get out of the crisis.
Service problems, constant free mistakes and a situation from which he can no longer get out. Sinner is called to react as soon as possible, and he will be able to do so in the next few days where he will attend the ATP tournament in Halle.
