Jannik Sinner’s Skiing Background Explains Everything

Описание: Why does Jannik Sinner feel inevitable—especially indoors?

In this episode of Best of Three, Alvin Owusu is joined by Patrick Parr for a deep dive into what actually separates Sinner from the rest of the ATP field. This isn’t about forehands or backhands. It’s about skiing, pressure, stillness, and why tennis feels slow to him.

We unpack:
•How Sinner’s elite skiing background shaped his movement, balance, and mental calm
•Why indoor tennis removes chaos—and why that heavily favors Sinner
•The difference between Sinner’s inward focus and Alcaraz’s crowd-fed chaos
•Why long rallies don’t drain Sinner—they settle him
•How other sports (soccer, basketball, squash, boxing) quietly shape elite tennis players
•What it might take for the next generation to disrupt Sinner’s dominance

This conversation goes beyond rankings and trophies. It’s about how athletes are built, not just trained—and why some players feel unshakeable once they lock in.

🎧 Best of Three is a tennis podcast for fans who want to understand the game more deeply—from tactics to psychology to the weird paths that create greatness.
