Jannik Sinner points to Roger Federer
The words of Jannik Sinner
Jannik Sinner on the day after his triumph at the Australian Open spoke as per tradition from the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne: "Obviously there were a lot of emotions in my head right after match point: the hard work, the sacrifices I have made throughout my career and to share this moment with my team è was perhaps the most beautiful feeling I have had so far. These are great emotions. I was just happy; yesterday maybe I still couldn’t believe it, and now I’m starting to realize it, so è it’s a great feeling. È nice to be here, the weather è nice".
"At the beginning of a season, you never know what is going to happen and what is going on,” he adds, “But I felt quite prepared and ready to do well here. I honestly don't think about matching Djokovic's 10 titles. Nole plays in a different league. I am happy to have this trophy this year, then we will see what happens. There'è still a lot of work to do, but I'll enjoy it, and then we'll see what he can achieve in the future."
"My role model è has always been Federer, not only for his class, but for the way he handles himself: the important thing is to surround yourself with the best people and face everything with a smile", concluded the South Tyrolean, with the trophy in his arms and looking forward to meeting Thursday with President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella.
