Lorenzo Musetti's coach said Novak Djokovic is the man to beat at Wimbledon

Simone Tartarini, Lorenzo Musetti's coach, in an interview with the Italian website OA Sport talked about some of the protagonists of the tennis world such as Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. The Italian coach first of all focused on the reigning champion of the Wimbledon Slam: "Djokovic favorite at Wimbledon? Of course, after all he has won the tournament seven times and comes from the success in Paris.

So he is definitely the player to beat. If Alcaraz is able to beat the Serbian? Carlos is a Martian and has an incredible ability to adapt. He is certainly not a grass-court player, but the more he plays the more he improves.

I don't think he can beat Nole if they meet in the Wimbledon final, but we'll see."

Musetti's coach also talked about Jannik Sinner

And finally if he sees a decline in Jannik Sinner given the latest performances: "It seems to me a decline from a physical point of view, which can also be normal.

Probably his tennis must have a significant athletic support and when this component drops a bit, his ball travels less. However, this is to be expected because he is a player who is still developing his physique and is less structured than Alcaraz and Rune in this respect.

He probably needs more time. But being number 8 in the world and being among the top 8 in the race is no small feat." Lorenzo Musetti, among other things, this week rose to position number 15 in the world, further improving his best ranking, all thanks to to his good journey on grass where he scored some interesting victories reaching the quarter-finals first in Stuttgart and then at Queen's.

The Italian so far in his career has never won a match at Wimbledon. In fact, both in 2021 and in 2022, the 21-year-old from Tuscany never made it past a round of the London main draw. Instead this year in the tournaments held up to now on grass he has strung together for the first time in his career several important victories on this surface.
