NEW YORK. “This title means a lot to me, the last period for me has really not been easymy team supported me every day, they were close to me. I love tennis, I trained a lot for these stages”. These are the words of Jannik Sinner after the victory of the US Open in the final against Taylor Fritz.
The South Tyrolean won in three sets with a score of 6-3 6-4 7-5after two hours and 15 minutes of play. For the world number one, increasingly alone at the top of the ATP ranking, it is the second career Slamafter winning the Australian Open last January.
“But beyond the court there is a life – adds the tennis player from Sesto, visibly moved -. I want to dedicate this title to my auntbecause she is not well and I don’t know how much longer she will remain in my life. And it is beautiful to share this moment with her, she was an important person for me. I wish everyone good health, even if it is a wish that cannot be made all the time”.
Sinner again: “I learned that outside of tennis there is a life“. “I work really hard to lift these cups and play on the biggest fields in the world – he added – but outside there is another life, it is important to surround yourself with people who know you but above all who accept you as you are as a person. We athletes cannot change because otherwise we lose our balance and this is also true in life in general, it is important to surround yourself with people who love you for who you are, this is my message, especially in difficult times, to be with those who love you even if they are two or three”.
