Jannik admitted that he has not been feeling well lately and that it will take some time before he feels good on the tennis court again. The young Italian will face Australian ace Christopher O’Connell tomorrow for a place in the round of 16.

With Alcaraz’s premature defeat in New York, Sinner has a good chance to end the year at the top of the ATP rankings.

“I noticed an improvement in my tennis game compared to the first round. It has helped me a lot that I have a day to train and I’m going to keep working hard to figure out the best way to compete in these jobs. New team members? It’s a strange time and I don’t want to talk about it too much. We’re trying to figure out who might be the best option.

It is not easy to find a sports coach and a physiotherapist in the middle of the season. We do our best to find the best peoplewe’ll see. I hope to have news at the end of the US Open”. Jannik Sinner was quite pleased with the improvements he made in his game from round one to round two and explained that it won’t be easy to replace two figures like Giacomo Naldi and Umberto Ferrara in his team.

The world number one did not only focus on technical aspects and a few hours later Caroline Garcia‘s outburst, warned new generations of social networks of the presence of a clear dark side. “There is a good side to social networks, but also a dark sideThe truth is, I try to spend as little time on social media as possible.

The most important thing is to have a family that knows you well and shows you at all times the real values ​​that you need. When you are young, you worry a lot about your reputation and everything they say seems important to you. That is why I always advise all athletes to have people who love them and appreciate them as they are.” The Italian ace has shown incredible consistency in results over the last twelve months, which has allowed him to reach the first position in the ATP rankings with a large margin over his opponents.

The Italian ace fails to respond to Kyrgios

The doping case of Jannik Sinner has been the main topic of the past ten days and some players have attacked him hard. Among them is Nick Kyrgioswho attacked the young Italian talent. When asked about the subject at the press conference, Jannik the Australian ace did not want to answer: “I am someone who forgets things quite quickly. Everyone can say anything. It is what it is. It helps me see who my friends are and who are not my friends.

I wish that no one has this experience to grow, because this is another way of experiencing, but you also realize that there is also a life outside of tennis, which is much more important than what we do, because our daily routine is to hit tennis balls and go to the gym. Then you see that some people are sick. There are several things that come to mindI said, okay, tennis is important to me because it showed me who I am as a person and how important the sport is, but on the other hand there is a life outside of tennis, which is even more important.”
