Simone Tartarini, coach of the Italian tennis player Lorenzo Musetti, intervened to comment on the year and the exploits of the Serbian champion Novak Djokovic, making a comparison with Roger Federer.

The coach thus clarified the differences between the two legendary champions, recalling that some compare Musetti's game to that of His Majesty Roger: "Sometimes they told us that Lorenzo resembles him and this is a very important reason for both me and Lorenzo.

pride. As far as we can, we take inspiration from Roger Federer." Among the various topics, Tartarini also spoke about a tennis player who has always had a great relationship with Musetti, namely Fabio Fognini. The man commented: "Fabio is a great player of tennis and I would have really liked to coach him.

I often heard from his coach and we talked, I think that temperamentally Fognini and Musetti are very similar. Italy? We are one of the youngest and strongest teams in the world and that's great given the new format of the Davis Cup.

We have already demonstrated all this in Malaga, even though there are several competitive teams, I believe we are the two or three best." Tartarini also expressed about the relationship with the other coaches on the Tour, clarifying that he often stays in contact with them and tries to analyze various topics regarding the development of tennis.

Djokovic's records in 2023
