More on Sinner: “Jannik has made an extraordinary journey in recent months, his ability to learn quickly and to put his daily work to good use continues to amaze me. I remember the first time we met, in Monte Carlo in 2019, I immediately had the clear feeling of being in front of something special. Here, on Wednesday I will have to play to the best of my ability to put him in difficulty, serving very well will be essential. However, Wimbledon remains a special place for me and I am aware that on these courts I can annoy everyone. In short, if I was unlucky in the draw it is only my fault and the injuries that made me drop in the rankings, but I don’t think Jannik is very happy to face me so soon. I have won something on grass and the only time we played against each other it was a good match”.
