The secret to help Sinner neutralize the opponent s serve

After losing to Sinner in the 1/8 round of the US expansion 2025, Aleksandr Bublik does not seem to joke with the comment that the world's number one player is like "A player created by artificial intelligence ". A player has the ability to analyze and predict the steps of the opponent in real time. That ability to calculate and execute was confirmed by Sinner himself in an interview with ESPN, when he shared about how to "decode" the serve from the opponents.

Predictable ability

According to the Italian player, just observe the position of the shoulder and the way the opponent's ball is in the preparation stage for the serve, he was able to immediately calculate the exact falling point of the ball, thereby being ready in the attacking position to respond. This is a testament to Sinner's thinking and action capacity, especially when considering the extremely short time in the match. And in that short period of time, Sinner focused on the coming ball, while observing the shoulder position and the way of launching the opponent, and then processing all this information to prepare for the delivery. Journalist Luigi Ansaloni, author "Federer. 20 Grand Slam. The story of a fairy year. And a record‘ cannot reach ", judgment: " Sinner's unique tennis skills are not only in the game or shots, although they are excellent, but also in other details that reflect a variety of special intelligence development in a world -class player. The theory of Gardner

This leads us to Howard Gardner, psychologist and American scholars, famous for its multi -intellectual theory. According to Gardner, people own at least 9 types of intelligence, including the ability to process information and use them to create valuable products in a specific culture or needs.. These possibilities, according to Gardner, are linked to specialized brain regions and nerve vessels. Summary of these capabilities that create human intelligence, can be divided into many aspects.

Ansaloni added: "Sinner possesses superior intelligence (Kinesthetic Intelligence), not only through the ability to use the body, coordination and balance, but also in the ability to read and decode the opponent's motion. Tri ".

The role of coach Ceccarelli

Talking about deciphering the opponent's serve, the legendary Andrre Agassi once told in the famous autobiography Open that he could know where Boris Becker would hit the ball where to observe ... The position of the German player's tongue, as if it was a" point See ".

" Jannik's ability is definitely a special gift for a special skill, especially when doing that level ", Stefano Pescosolidido, former world number 42 player and Sky's commentator, commented. "Professional players can often read the opponent's serve through the ball and shoulder movement, but doing it at Jannik's speed is completely different. He almost always knows where the ball will go, and thus returning very well. Jannik also has the ability to adapt over time when it is difficult, like in the match against Shapovalov and Felix Auger Aliassime ".

Pescosolido believes that cooperation with Riccardo Ceccarelli, psychological coach who has worked with formula 1 champions, has helped a lot for Sinner. "He is familiar with the handling in every moment, in every time, the unit is the tenth of the second," Pescosolido said. "Therefore, it does not exclude the possibility that Ceccarelli is helping Sinner further improve in this aspect, when the time between the delivery and delivery is in the blink of an eye ".
