Jannik Sinner is sticking it in the ATP Finals 2024 with two victories in the group stage, the last against Taylor Fritz. The Italian is having a great moment in his country and wants to qualify for the semifinals again in the absence of his last match against Medvedev. In a press conference after his victory against the American, the world number 1 spoke about the complexity of the match and what it means to play this tournament at home “so special.”
– Match sensations
“It was a very high-level match. I think we both played great tennis and it was a completely different match than the first. “I don’t want to compare, but this was a very tough match, so I’m very happy for the victory.”
-He missed the Rome Masters 1000
“Playing in Italy is different. The public is incredible, they support you through thick and thin and I like that. I haven’t played in Rome, which for me was a tough nut to crack, but I wasn’t physically prepared. Now I’m here 12 months after the last time I played in Italy and I’m enjoying it. This tournament is a little different from the rest because you have to qualify to be able to play. You already have a good position by qualifying and all the games are difficult.”
– Are you still surprised by its impact? See Italy wallpapered with his face, for example
“It surprises me. I’m just a 23-year-old boy who plays tennis. I have some sponsors and the headquarters are here like Lavazza and Intensa. They are from here, I love my sponsors’ family and the connection I have with them. Playing in Italy for an Italian is very special and you should never take anything for granted. I still surprise myself sometimes. It’s not that everything is normal, but I’m trying to get used to it. “I’m just trying to play good tennis on the court, which is what I’m here to do.”
– Have you noticed differences in the players’ attitude towards him on the court since he became world number 1?
“Of course, there are always differences. I always say that every game is different in some way. It doesn’t matter when you last played against them. I was also in that position when I played against the world number 1. You go to the track and you don’t have much to lose, it’s normal. It’s also something different because there are players who have already beaten me and you don’t think if it’s number 1, 2 or 3. You’re just guided by the knowledge of previous matches and try to improve as a player. That’s what I try to do with all my opponents. I try to stay in the present moment, not think about the past or the future. “This is a very present sport in which you have to keep an eye on what is coming at this moment.”
