After winning the title: Sinner is very modest

“He was clearly the better one today,” was the blunt conclusion of Gaël Monfils, himself the former number 6 in the world and still one of the most unpleasant opponents on the tour. The French have that 6:3, 6:4 from Sinner in the final of the ATP 250 tournament in Sofia leave a lasting impression. Although Monfils clearly missed his 11th tournament victory, there was no trace of depression on his part. Instead, he eagerly showered his counterpart with roses: “He’s doing an excellent job. I wish Jannik that he wins many more titles and achieves all his goals. Despite the defeat in the final, the tournament here in Sofia was a great experience for me.” “I wish Jannik that he wins many more titles.” Gael Monfils Sinner himself politely returned the compliments immediately after the award ceremony: “We always have really great duels. The level was extremely high today too. Gaël is a fantastic player, but luck was on my side in some moments.” The 20-year-old from Sesto was also modest about his own performance after the fourth tournament win of his career: “I played a really good game, but there is still a lot of work waiting for me.” Work that he will primarily carry out with his immediate supervisory environment. “You deserve a special thank you,” said Sinner, who added with regard to the coming weeks: “You prepared me very well in the run-up to the tournament, accompanied me here to Sofia and will continue to do everything you can to ensure that I am successful.” Now we're heading across the pond Sinner will use the next few hours to fill his reserves of strength and then move to California, where the Masters 1000 tournament in Indian Wells, which will be held on hard courts, will take place next weekend. The second South Tyrolean top 100 player, the Kalter veteran Andreas Seppi, on the other hand, will be competing at the Challenger in Mouilleron-le-Captif in western France this week.
