“The tank is full again”: That’s what Sinner says

Rested and fully fit. This is how Jannik Sinner looked at his first appearance at Foro Italico. He had been intensively preparing for the most important tennis tournament in Italy for a week and a half. And the 3 weeks break since withdrawing before the quarter-finals in Barcelona against Lorenzo Musetti have clearly done the 21-year-old good. “The tank is full again,” said Sinner at the press conference. “It wasn't easy, but I got off to a good start. That was the most important thing today. I broke him straight away. I also served well today. It was also a bit windy, so not so easy. But I played well and will take the positives with me into the next match.” Sinner has worked a lot in the last few days. Also on serve. “We also changed a little something, in the movement, when throwing the ball. But of course 7 to 10 days isn’t a lot of time.” “We have done a lot, also with regard to the French Open, the most important tournament of the clay court season.” Jannik Sinner Sinner feels back in shape. “We have done a lot, also with regard to the French Open, the most important tournament of the clay court season.” The second Grand Slam tournament of the year begins on May 2th – a week after the final in Rome. As always, Sinner only thinks about the next match and not about the possible semi-final in a week against Novak Djokovic, in which Tennis Italy can already see him. “I feel that the audience loves me. I like the affection of the fans. There is also pressure, but it is positive pressure.” A free Saturday Today, Saturday, Sinner has the day off. As with the Grand Slams, the Masters 1000 tournaments are only played every other day. “You have more time than in a normal tournament week, but you have to manage your time well. Wasting too much energy doesn't help. I know my body pretty well now. I know what I can do and what I can't do. The priority is to play tennis in these 2 weeks. I’ll try as best as I can.” The fact that he had to start at 11 a.m. was unusual, but it didn't bother him. “I like to play in the morning so you don’t have to wait all day for your match. Playing in the evening is definitely a little different.” He will do that in Rome too, if he goes far as he hopes.
