Panatta harshly criticized Djokovic and current tennis: "Novak Djokovic? I have nothing personal against him, but I don't like him.
In the last two years he hasn't got one right, I am referring in particular to his statements. I don't like today's tennis, I would say that it bores me. I only follow him for Italian tennis players, let's say for patriotism." He also praised Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal: "Roger is and will always be tennis.
Nadal? I enjoy watching his matches and above all I admire him from a human point of view." On his countrymen Matteo Berrettini and Jannik Sinner, Adriano added: " Who is stronger? Both are very strong and modern athletes, I must say that they are very different from each other."
