Jannik Sinner is not in her skin: “A dream.” And he sends a message to Novak Djokovic
Jannik Sinner: "I don’t know what to say"
He's almost speechless, Jannik Sinner, at the news of reaching the top of the ATP rankings, an eventuality that è materialized due to the Serbian’s withdrawal from Roland Garros, just as Sinner was playing his own quarterfinal against Grigor Dimitrov on Tuesday afternoon. To retain No. 1, Nole would in fact have had to reach the final.
"I just don't know what to say, è it's every tennis player's dream to become No. 1 in the world,' said Sinner to the microphones of the tournament organizers at the conclusion of the match against the Bulgarian.' I have to say thank you to my team and all the fans, I had struggled here in recent years and I wanted to do well this year. This day è special, I am happy to share it with the fans and all Italians".
Sinner also had a chance to pay tribute to the great champion who will cede him (officially from the next ranking update on Monday, June 10) the scepter of the ATP ranking: "I am sorry for Novak’s retirement, I really hope he will recover soon" said Jannik.
On the match against Dimitrov, Sinner finally added: "It's been a tough match, I had a drop when I served for the match but that fits. I kept a good level throughout the match and I am happy. Will I watch; Alcaras-Tsitsipas? I would like to, but I would like to relax for a moment before I start preparing for the semifinals. It will beà a pleasure to play it".
