Jannik Sinner leaves Sergio Mattarella in doubt

The words of Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner the day after the triumph attended the traditional photo shoot at Melbourne's Albert Park Lane with the Australian Open trophy. "The first Slam è different, è a relief. You see the things you can do if you play great. The second one maybe you enjoy it a little bit more, but every Slam you win has a different story and its own difficulties.". 

"I heard from my parents, to hear if everything was all right at home. Then we went to dinner. My brother was also there with us. It was a very nice time, we took time for ourselves, that was what we needed after these two weeks. We were obviously very happy. Now it is fitting for us to have some time off, then when we get back to work, tennis will have 100 percent of our attention again. There are a lot of important tournaments where I have to be at the top, but è the balance between life off the court and work on the court" is crucial.

Zverev's hug made the rounds on the web: "For us players, the pain of a defeat è stronger than the joy of a victory, we are always more attached to the things we fail to do. For Sascha it was a difficult time, I tried to encourage him. He deserves more than anyone to win a Slam".

In doubt is Wednesday's meeting at the Quirinale, where President of the Republic Mattarella will celebrate the successes of Italian tennis in 2024. "I do not know yet, I have to decide".
