BOLZANO. “It has been a fantastic year that has given me more confidence on the pitch. There have been ups and downs, which is normal at my age. I always train hard, I try to have the right solution at the right time.”
Jannik Sinner has just won in Sofia and is already leaving for Indian Wells, “because the year is not over yet and there are still some great tournaments, so in Indian Wells I will try to play well. In this moment I can be happy, but at the same time we must also think about the future. One more or less trophy doesn’t matter, I have to be focused on what comes and improve “.
Meanwhile, the victory in the tournament of the Bulgarian capital allows the South Tyrolean boy to overcome Auger-Aliassime, now 185 points behind, and to place himself in the tenth place in the Race (ninth, counting that Nadal has closed the season).
In front of him, in the race towards the Finals of Turin, there are Hurkacz and Ruud: but in what conditions does Sinner see his direct opponents? “I don’t know how the others are, we should ask them – he replies -. Surely they are all in good shape, the most important week will be that of Paris because often the last places are decided there. Now I don’t want to think about my position.
I am happy with Sofia’s match, because I had to raise the level and I raised it. Tournaments are won like this, when maybe you don’t feel great for a few games but then you find yourself “.
On Turin, for Sinner, it is good to keep in mind that “it is still long, so many things can change, also hoping that no one gets hurt, because there is also the body and it is not easy to play every week.
Meanwhile, I’m happy to be part of this group, but it’s not like every morning as soon as I wake up it’s a ‘I have to go there, I have to go there’. I wake up to improve and feel better on the pitch, then let’s see what comes out at the end of the year. ”
