  • In recent times, we have witnessed the rise of multiple Italian tennis stars. Throwing it back a few years, it was Matteo Berrettini who emerged and placed himself in the spotlight by reaching the Wimbledon final in 2021. But lately, there's been a wave of Italian rising talents. Of course, it is Sinner who leads the way, but behind him come other players the likes of Musetti, Arnaldi, Darderi, Sonego, Cobolli… just to name a few. This, however, not only happens in men’s singles; and the recent French Open is a great demonstration of the great moment that Italian tennis is going through. Jasmine Paolini made the women’s singles final, while Elisabetta Cocciaretto had a great tournament as well. And players who we’ve known for a long time, such as Bolelli and Vavassori, and Sara Errani partnering with Paolini herself, all made the finals of the doubles tournaments. As you can imagine, this Italian dominance of the sport is no coincidence, but rather a result of some great management from the country’s federation.

    The Italian Tennis Federation’s development was pretty stark. For ages it was just a nepotistic and disfunctional organization meant to give support to its higher echelons. It was revolutionized in the 2000s and now we see the results

    Italian tennis is currently a Dream Team, and it's no coincidence. The credit goes to the federation which, despite its flaws, has created a top-notch technical structure. Coaches like Piatti, Vagnozzi, Pistolesi, Sartori, Santopadre, etc., are all of the highest caliber.
    With top-level coaches training other top-level coaches, who in turn train the players, the entire system is functioning effectively.

    Another factor to consider: after Panatta, Italians were desperate for new champions to keep people interested, and when promising players came on the scene they quickly would get sponsorships and media attention, putting a lot of pressure on them. When interest faded, the federation became less of a trendy place, and that left space for managers with passion and promotion skills (a dedicated tv channel was born too) as opposed to attention seekers. So, this cycle began.

    In Sinner’s case it is a combination of luck but also hard work. Before someone attacks me - Jannik is the deserved nr1 but he benefited massively from early hype even if he didn’t start delivering until he was 22. Because of that hype he got a massive Nike deal (about the size Alcaraz got NOW!! as a 3x slam winner) which allowed him to move from Piatti and get a top notch team that allowed him to exercise his potential fully. Not every young player has this much hype around them with a lack of delivery so to that extent Jannik was lucky

      @@HeavyTopspin You may be right, although I am not at all sure that this was an AI voice (which is easily recognizable in general). At any rate, you must also acknowledge that it is typical of yankees (and, more in general albeit less frequently, of english speaking persons) to not even try to learn how to pronounce foreign names correctly. For them, the correct pronunciation is the "american pronunciation". This is the reason why we have to use the name "Flòrida" (which means nothing and sounds terribly) instead of the beautiful, original and historical Spanish name of the State "Florìda" (which means "flowering", "in bloom", "in blossom"). Just an example, of course.

According to Italian laws being born in Italy doesn't make you Italian if your parents are not Italian nationals. However people who were born outside of Italy can claim Italian citizenship if there are Italian born people in their ascendants, even far, far back. This law provides for the millions of Italians who were forced to emigrate because of poverty in the last two centuries. Darderi was born in Argentina to an Italian father but his family moved back to Italy when he was a teenager.
