After the hard-fought victory in 4 sets against the German HanfmannJannik Sinner is satisfied but is already looking ahead and to the derby with Matthew Berrettini: “I want to play a high-level match, it will certainly be tough because he reached the final here and knows how to play on this surface. Let’s see what happens and I hope the crowd will enjoy it.”
First Slam as number one? “First of all it’s a great privilege, it’s a wonderful feeling, but every match starts 0-0 and everyone wants to win”.
Then again on today’s match: “Lost confidence in the third set? This is grass and you can’t always control everything, he pushed so hard and broke me straight away, but my response in the fourth set was very positive and will help me face the second round.”
