Jannik Sinner: "More difficult conditions than yesterday"

Here are the words of world number 1 Jannik Sinner to the microphones of Rai Sport immediately after his comeback victory over Tommy Paul in the second semifinal of the Internazionali d’Italia in Rome.

“I definitely didn’t feel like yesterday but today it was much colder and he pushed much better in the first set, in the second set I got unstuck with a couple of important points at the beginning. Fortunately I was able to turn the match around somewhat but on Sunday I will have to raise the level.”

“I’ve had a small blister on my foot for a few days that has some consequences on my leg but nothing to worry about, now the rest day comes at the right time, I’ll get ready for Sunday and then we’ll see how it goes.”
