The world number one received a lot of praise for his performances at Wimbledon<\/a> this year, including Sinner being told he has one shot that is the best in history<\/a>.<\/p>\n Not all of the comments toward Sinner<\/a> have been positive, and now a former Roland Garros<\/a> semifinalist has called out something she has recently heard.<\/p>\n Before Sinner was the Grand Slam winning force that he is today, his Italian compatriot Martina Trevisan reached the semifinals of Roland Garros.<\/p>\n In an interview with fanpage.it<\/a>, the now world number 276 Trevisan has spoken about how much she was rooting for Sinner against Alcaraz.<\/p>\n Trevisan also called out criticism of Sinner, as she suggested that she had heard people calling him unexciting to watch.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course I watched it and I cheered for Jannik with all my heart,\u201d said Trevisan. \u201cHe\u2019s an extraordinary guy, and you can\u2019t help but root for him, for the clean, sharp tennis he displays every time. <\/p>\n \u201cAnyone who accuses him of having an unexciting style of play has probably never picked up a racket, because watching Jannik play, recognizing how he makes even the most complex movements appear simple, is a joy for the eyes and the heart.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I\u2019m not just saying this as a fan, but also as a professional who knows how certain backhand down-the-line shots are a slap in the face of the laws of physics.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n While the Wimbledon final may not have been as much of a spectacle, Sinner and Alcaraz\u2019s Roland Garros final has received high praise<\/a> and been called one of the best in history.<\/p>\n Martina Trevisan explains how Jannik Sinner managed to bounce back from Roland Garros <\/p>\n Sinner was heartbroken against Alcaraz after the Roland Garros final<\/a>, where he lost in five sets despite having three championship points.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n When discussing how Sinner managed to get over his Roland Garros defeat, Trevisan praised his mental fortitude.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, I believe that the best memory, the one that allowed Jannik to beat Carlos in four sets, is like a fine-meshed sieve that lets through what\u2019s useless and harmful to growth and self-improvement, while retaining what\u2019s useful and instrumental to change,\u201d explained Trevisan. <\/p>\n \u201cIt takes great courage, a determined and positive mental attitude, to transform in a month what could have been a paralyzing trauma into an extraordinary victory. <\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s why the mind is 80%: if you\u2019re able to transform the \u2018poison\u2019 of a defeat into the \u2018medicine\u2019 needed for a victory, you have everything it takes to be a champion. In sports, of course, but above all in life.\u201d<\/p>\n It is currently unclear when the world number one will next play a match, with Sinner already withdrawing from the Canadian Open<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Jannik](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2224961785-1024x683.jpg\")
