ATP Finals, Jannik Sinner: “WADA? Nothing has changed, but it’s not good to be in this situation.”

Jannik Sinner’s words at media day

On the media day of the ATP Finals, the day dedicated to the players’meeting with journalists, the eight players in Turin made some interesting statements. Big focus of course on Jannik Sinner, who admits how it will beà "impossible to top soccer, but è nice anyway that there are so many young kids approaching tennis". And on the rivalryà with Alcaraz: "Hard to talk about it now, è too early".

Carlitos responds: "it makes me happy to be very loved in Italy, although the greatest affection of course è for Jannik, com’è normal that is. He è also very much loved in Spain".

Sinner never forgets those who preceded him and opened the doors to tennis popularity, from Fognini to Berrettini, mentioning also such outstanding youngsters as Cobolli and Arnaldi, authors of two excellent seasons. And on the WADA issue he gives no update: "nothing has changed, I have already been in this position in season. Hopefully, the’final outcome will be positive".

In the’other round, big laughs between Alcaraz and Zverev, with Sascha joking: "I was looking forward to finding Carlitos in the round, è so easy to face him! He doesn’t play well in matches that count, like Slam finals", said the German, laughing with gusto. Turning serious, howeverò he admitted: "Jannik and Carlos are the two best in the world. It used to be that to win this tournament you had to beat Nadal, Djokovic and Federer, today we have them". Let the show begin.
