Jannik Sinner also beat the sun and the wind

The words of Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner spoke to UbiTennis after his winning debut in Miami.

“Even before the match I knew that it would be played at the time when it was sunny, yesterday we practiced at that time. It wasn’t easy, on the side where the sun was in your face you were also against the wind, which then here also turns … I held very very well the first service rounds, then I made a couple of errors and it turned. Good thing he missed something on 4-3 because there were also new balls. In the second one I started well, there was also that moment of difficulty there. At 30-15 I had to push harder, but that’s how it is in the first rounds, plus it’s not easy to play here. You have to stay calm, especially with your head, and today I think I did well, I can be happy.”

“In my opinion the courts are even faster than last year, the tournament courts maybe even more so, except the Central. I don’t know about the Grandstand, but where I played today was pretty fast. They are definitely different [than Indian Wells] and I didn’t have as much time to adjust, two or three days, and the first match is always important.”
