Jannik Sinner’s rise to Grand Slam glory continues to be the talk amongst the tennis world.
The Italian has the chance to become the new world number three this week should he win the title in Rotterdam.
Sinner has made a great start to his bid with two victories over Botic Van De Zandschulp and Gael Monfils as he looks ahead to a quarter-final with Milos Raonic.
Now Sinner is starting to attract the attention of people across the tennis world including the Netherlands.
Doubles legends Jacco Eltingh and Paul Haarhuis know all too well about Sinner’s rise with Italy knocking the Netherlands out of the Davis Cup finals last year.
Sinner also defeated Van De Zandschulp and Jesper De Jong at the Australian Open on his way to the title.
Now in an interview with Ubaldo Scanagatta, Eltingh and Haarhuis spoke about Sinner’s potential with Eltingh also speaking about the early years of his career and which Italian players he was rivals with during the early stages of his career.
