Rome: Junk Sunr will please the crowd at the Open of Rome this week when the world’s number one returns to tennis, but the Italian’s three -month doping restriction has allowed other local growing stars to light.
Sunar joined the top 10 of the Men’s World Rankings through Lorenzo Mostei on Monday, which is ranked nine after reaching the Monte Carlo final and the last four in Madrid.
Meanwhile, Luciano Darderi and Flavio Koboli won the tournament in Morocco and Bucharest in April, which further indicated that the Italian tennis is behind the three -time Grand Slam winner Gainer.
The Italian team captain Philippo Vollandry, who has won the last two editions of the Davis Cup, told AFP that “Italian tennis is clearly in the golden era”.
He added, “But it’s been a long time, we are looking at the works of work that started some time ago.”
Voldendra, who has been in charge of high -level male athletes of the Italian Tennis Federation (FITP) for the past nine years, showed AFP a graphic that reflects Italy’s recent progress.
Between 2005 and 2015, Italian players won eight ATP titles – with seven people in the lowest 250 category – but since 2016 the tournament has increased to 31.
Of these 31 wins, five high -level masters have arrived in 1000 tournaments, and three more are the Grand Slam Trumps of the sinner. Sanar has been responsible for winning Italy’s 19 ATP since 2016.
“Junk is the product of a movement that has already reached the Matteo Barrettini to the Wimbledon Finals (in 2021),” said Wollandrey. It is the result of a system that works. “
The Federation operates a geographically decisive system, which was laid in the late 1990s, told AFP, director of the FITP’s Higher Training Institute.
“In each province, between 8-10 years, children have a coach for children, while each region is in charge of players aged 11 to 16.”
The players were obliged to go to the National Training Center in Termina for a long time, just above the coast of Tuscani, but now it will not happen.
“विकेंद्रीकरण means that our skills are available to young players and their coaches,” said Wollandre.
“We are reaching them instead of getting away from their families and their lives.”
Deller said that in the Italian tennis, the renovating philosophy has also come through a change of philosophy and sports style.
He said, “To compare to another game, we left the marathon, where the players were slugging the foreheads and back hands by the 100 meter side, a skeptical tennis, where the service and return are emphasized, two shots that determine that a point can be won.”
For the past seven years every year, right before the Rome opened, FITP has invited its 12,000 coaches to a seminar in the charming Four Atlako where the Clay Court tournament is played.
The seminar has been kept to discuss training, physical preparations and plans, with large foreign names such as Emilio Sanchez and Brad Gilbert with guests in the field, which were there on Saturday.
Former coach of tennis icon Andre Ages, Gilbert, is affected by the work done in Italy.
Gilbert said, “They are going to the top, they have a sinner. Sometimes you come to the top and you rest. If anything, they are spending more.”
He said he had made an incredible commitment and he received a great support team. The sinner is this reward.
“But they started this thing 10, 15 years ago and they are still preparing. I just saw this baby … Federico Sinai. She’s special.”
Sina could have had the opportunity to show how special she was because she would play a sinner in the second round in Rome if she arrives in the past from Argentina’s Mariano Neon in her opening match.
