That world number one within reach can only be among the main thoughts. On the other hand, it is one of his biggest dreams as the one already realized of winning a Slam title. Jannik Sinner is preparing to make his debut on Saturday in the Master 1000 in Madrid, which he did not play last year and currently boasts only the round of 16 as his best placing in the tournament.
This year too, the South Tyrolean has openly declared that he is not aiming for an important result, but only to play more matches on clay in view of the Italian Internationals and Roland Garros (the real objectives of this part of the season).
“I do the calculations too, I know what the situation is also with the points in the standings and I would be lying if I said otherwise. For me the priority remains Rome. I’m in Spain to find the best of myself on
a surface on which I struggle a little more.
In my head, however, I know that I can also play very well on clay. Maybe it won’t happen this year or even next year, sooner
or then yes” he stated in the words reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport.
The South Tyrolean’s expectations and sensations, with some training sessions still available to adapt to the very treacherous altitude conditions: “I can improve if I can find my game and here I’ve never managed to do that before.
I still have 3 days before the debut and I hope this can help me. At the moment I feel great and I’m happy to be here, it’s a special tournament and I hope I can play good tennis, which for me is the most important thing.”
Jannik Sinner’s goals
“Definitely the Olympics. I didn’t do them 4 years ago, I’m happy to participate and I can’t wait to meet the other athletes, to get to know them, to talk to them, to understand what they think, to ask them how they train.
Then obviously, Rome is a beautiful tournament and of course there are the Slams.
But I don’t want to put further pressure on myself: I’m having a great time winning a lot of matches and I want to continue like this. I know what I need to improve to win more,” she added.
