At the end of the match, the Italian - who in a few minutes will play his third ATP Masters 1000 final of the season, analyzed his match won against the Czech tennis player.
"I think we all saw how much talent and firepower he has. I had to be very careful in every service game. His serve is very aggressive and fast. I tried to stay there in every point, trying to see what would happen, playing every point with the maximum intensity possible. I'm very happy about that. I'm happy to be in a final again," he explained.
Journalists in the media room asked Sinner where he felt best between Miami, Cincinnati and Shanghai. The ATP No.1 said the conditions in Shanghai and Cincinnati were more mental, compared to Miami.

"It's hard to say. In Miami I felt like I was hitting really, really well. The conditions that week and the way I touched the ball made me feel good. Cincinnati is a little bit different. It's very windy. It's difficult to play there. It was a mental week. This is also a mental week. I tried to stay calm. Not every day is going to be the same. So I'm looking forward to playing. I try to play every match the best I can. I think tomorrow I'll just try to do that and hopefully it's a good match," he said.
