«Victory that gives me confidence for Wimbledon»

Where to watch the final in Sinner and Hurkacz at the ATP 500 in Halle? The world no.1 beat China’s Zhang 2-0 in the semifinal, despite some dangers in the second set (won in the tie-break). A good performance from the Italian who seemed in excellent shape, despite the efforts of the last few matches, above all the one against the German Struff in the quarter-finals.

Now Jannik will play the final against the Pole Hubert Hurkacz, who rose to seventh place in the ATP ranking and is definitely at ease on grass. The finalist born in ’97 won in the semi-final against Zverev in two sets and had previously won against Giron, Duckworth and Cobolli.

Sinner’s words

«This was one of the best 500s of the year. The victory gives me confidence for Wimbledon. The match was very close, I won twice in the tie-break. I struggled with Struff, then I went better with Zhang but the victory is very important for the rest of the season.”

«Today was a good match, I’m happy and we’ll see how it goes tomorrow. It’s my first final on grass and I’m very satisfied with this result. It seems like the best preparation for Wimbledon, then I will have a week of rest which will be fundamental for my body. Tomorrow will be a very difficult match, Hurkacz plays very well on this surface so it will be tough. He’s playing well and above all he’s serving well, so it will be difficult to find the break. I’m happy and I hope it can be a good day for me.”
