US Open, Jannik Sinner talks about his next opponent

After the hot ones at the end of the US Open men’s singles second round match dominated against Lorenzo Snego, here are Jannik Sinner’s words in the press conference more generally about his moment of form, his game and his next opponent, Swiss veteran Stan Wawrinka, winner of this tournament in 2016.

“I served with pretty good percentages, which today è was very important. Sì, I think the response also worked really very well. On the net game we are working on it a lot and I feel more and more confident. I can improve of course, but è the approach is important and now I have a’different mentality.”

“Making the breaks helped me serve more calmly. But I was especially very careful to be very well on the court, to have a good attitude from the start. I’m happy with both how I started and how I continued. The Sampras-style smashes? Everything you see in the match I try in practice, even these things here, which I don’t do often anyway. I did it in a scoring situation where I could afford it. È a shot I sometimes use, I did it even in Montpellier and Wawrinka”.

“Playing earlier today helps recovery becauseé I have a practically full day, and also tomorrow. If you play a night game, è a little bit’ different. You have less time to recover. But, you know, if you win like this, just over two hours, è a good start for the U.S. Open and I hope I can go on like thisì. “With Stan (Wawrinka, ed.) we know each other very well. Sometimes we train in Munich. È in shape, physically è improved. He is playing great. It will beà tough”.
