The words of Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner struggled more than expected in the second round of the Australian Open. The world number one, who saw his streak of 29 straight sets won in official matches come to an end, è won in a comeback against Australian wild card Tristan Schoolkate with a score of 4-6 6-4 6-1 6-3. At the end of the match, the South Tyrolean, among other hot topics, announced the separation from his coach Darren Cahill at the end of the season.

"Darren è on the circuit for a long time and said that 2025 will be his last season, so having had the chance to meet his family members è always a great feeling. He had already announced this in an interview, so it wasn&#39t new,” the South Tyrolean began.

"It&#39s always difficult to play against opponents I don&#39t know very well. He at the beginning served very well and played much better than me. Obviously thanks to the audience there'was an incredible atmosphere. It's a very special place, especially for Australians playing at home. However, I am happy with my performance, nothing should be taken for granted and I am happy to be in the next round" continued the world number one.

"There's always someone new coming in and playing very well. Every match here è difficult. Today I struggled a bit with the wind, but that&#39s okay. It's still an honor to play on such a beautiful field in the evening session. It's always better to play here than on the outfields, because theé wind can be felt even more. Conditions can change from day to day and the level of each player can also change. I hope I can raise my level going forward in the tournament" added the defending Australian Open champion.

"It's definitely a different feeling than last year, but I have some very good things happening here on and off the court. It's different, but I take it as an opportunity to try to win the tournament again, although it&#39s still a long way to go. My level can è improve from today, that è the most important thing and I hope I can prove it already in the next match" concluded Jannik Sinner.
