MADRID. «Playing against Lori is not easy, we have a good friendship off the court, we often train together and we played the Davis Cup together. But I tried to put all this aside.” Jannik Sinner shows all his respect for his friend Sonego after dominating him 6-0 6-3 in the second round of theAtp 1000 in Madrid.
«I started well, I played a very solid game from behind. He was in a bit of a hurry, he made a lot of mistakes. I tried to stay calm – he added -. I wish Lori good luck, I know he is going through a different moment in his career. I wish him only the best.”
Having returned to Madrid two years after his last participation, Sinner will continue his journey against Pavel Kotov o l’australiano Jordan Thompson. «In the two years since my last presence in Madrid I have improved a lot. The conditions here are different from other tournaments, I can make even more progress”, concluded Sinner.
The Italian, who did not participate in the Mutua Madrid Open last year, knows that by winning the title at the Caja Magica and at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia he will become the first Italian world number 1 in the history of men’s tennis.
