Jasmine Paolini<\/a> has revealed Jannik Sinner<\/a> gave her a key piece of advice after spotting something she could improve on in her game, but she has refused to reveal what the world No 2 told her.<\/p>\n

Paolini and Sinner are leading the stunning rise of Italian tennis, with the nation currently the reigning champions of the two biggest team competitions in tennis.<\/p>\n

An Italian team propelled by Paolini defended their Billie Jean King Cup title in Shenzen<\/a> last month, while Sinner will look to fire Italy to a third successive Davis Cup title<\/a> in front of his home fans in Bologna next month.<\/p>\n

Players from the men\u2019s tour rarely get a chance to speak to their female counterparts about the technicalities of their game, yet Paolini told Tennis365 at the Dongfeng \u00b7 Voyah Wuhan Open that Sinner spotted a flaw in her game that he suggested she could correct.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the Davis Cup finals last year, my ex-coach Renzo (Furlan) was speaking with Jannik and I was surprised because he said I wasn\u2019t doing something on the court,\u201d Paolini told Tennis365. \u201cI can\u2019t say what it is because my opponents will know then!<\/p>\n

\u201cMy coach came to me and said: \u2018Jannik has said you need to do this\u2019. I mean, when Jannik tells you to do something, you just have to do it. How can you say no to Jannik\u2019s advice?\u201d<\/p>\n

Paolini went on to pay tribute to Sinner, as she suggested he was setting a good example with his calm demeanour on court.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is doing unbelievable things on the court and I think people like how he is behaving on and off the court because he is a really nice guy,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a good role model. That is very good for our sport in Italy and it is good for our sport. Tennis is growing in Italy because of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

This rise of Italian tennis is one of the biggest talking points in the sport right now, with Paolini and Sinner joined by Lorenzo Musetti, Sara Errani, Flavio Cobolli and Matteo Berrettini part of a long cast list of names making a big splash in the sport.<\/p>\n

The rise can be traced back to the Italian Tennis Federation hosting a growing list of lower-ranked events that allowed their players to get competitive matches and collect ranking points, with Paolini proud to be part of the golden era of Italian tennis.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was really important that the Italian Federation but on so many tournaments and now they are continuing to improve them,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou see there are many Italians in the men\u2019s draw. With the women, it is a little different, but that has been the key to us doing so well. The Federation are behind us players and they have done an amazing job.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that there are so many of us, it allows us to push each other to do better and better.\u201d<\/p>\n
