Jannik Sinner has great confidence
Jannik Sinner said: "I personally feel honored every time I enter this circle. I hear the Wimbledon story. I feel a little different when Im here. The fields are beautiful, the Central has a great history". Sinner revealed that he felt very well, unlike the uncertainty reigned during the Roland Garros. "The grass between Halle and Wimbledon is a little different.
Im trying to understand on these fields what works best and whats worse. I feel good physically. Getting into a Grand Slam feeling good for me is the most important thing. I dont have those doubts I had at Roland Garros.
Monday I will immediately have a very difficult first obstacle but maybe starting immediately at 100% is what I need" explained the native of San Candido. On his opponent. "Hanfmann is a player who serves very well and who when he can pull does so without thinking about it.
I have to be careful and try to play my game, which we still have to set. I think day after day, it has always been my routine and it will never change". Sinner concluded by talking about the privilege of getting to this number one Slam in the world.
"I know how many sacrifices, how many hours of training Ive made and how many things Ive given up in my career so far. I am 22 years old, I am still young, I know that I still have to improve in many aspects, from the physical to the mental part.
Its all a process. Mine has just begun. I will continue to work to improve myself as a person and as a player. I live the moment very much, now it is a positive moment but it can change everything in an instant. I am very quiet but in the same way I feel privileged for this first position".
