Unstoppable on Hard Courts

“Very happy with the level shown” – Sinner

The first rounds are never easy because you have to get used to the conditions and the situation on the track. After a few games, you know what you have to work. I am very happy for that.

Sinner attributed his victory to his effectiveness in returning serve and praised Auger-Aliassime’s skills despite the straight-sets defeat.

In Search of His Own Legacy

While acknowledging the “Big 4” – Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Murray – Sinner is determined to carve his own path in history.

“It’s an honor [to be compared with them], but I can’t compare myself with them. I am happy because I want to leave my mark and be able to write my name in history, happy to write my own story,” Sinner said.
