Turin, 6 September (LaPresse) – ‘We should be proud to be such a strong nation, with extraordinary players who represent the best of our country's youth,’ said Angelo Binaghi, president of the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation, speaking to Supertennis about the golden age of Italian tennis, which continues at the US Open. In the semi-finals, Sinner defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime at the end of a match that President Binaghi described as ‘tough, difficult. Jannik started as only he knows how, playing a fantastic first set. Then I think he had a small physical problem in the second set,’ he added. "I also think Auger-Aliassime had a problem with his foot at the beginning of the third set. Then, in the fourth set, the more experienced, classier player came out on top. Jannik has now reached four Slam finals out of four, an exceptional result that rewards an extraordinary young man and all of us Italians who share a passion for tennis." On Sunday at 8 p.m. Italian time, he will compete for the title, once again against Spain's Carlos Alcaraz.
