Jannik Sinner’s words after the victory against Hubert Hurkacz

Jannik Sinner advanced to the round of 16 of the Monte Carlo Masters 1000, defeating Hubert Hurkacz in a comeback with a score of 3-6 7-6 6-1. After the match, the South Tyrolean tennis player spoke to Sky Sports microphones, “It was a very tough match, Hurkacz played very well.”

“Throughout the first set and half of the second set he was better than me, when I broke him I was able to play it even, find more confidence and take over the match. I found myself in a very complicated situation having to save the match-point. I put all my energy into that moment, then in the third set I was able to level up and overtake him,” said the Italian number one.

“I am happy for Italian tennis. In case of a derby in the quarters I think both Musetti and I will feel the pressure. Instead, if I face Djokovic I will have to prepare the match differently. Today I didn’t express my best tennis and I didn’t find rhythm. It was the first real clay match of the season,” added Sinner.
