Jannik Sinner Reassures Fans in Milan: “I’ll Come Back Stronger”

Jannik Sinner spoke again at a press conference four months after the Wimbledon final: since then, the Italian has not taken the court due to his well-known knee injury. In recent weeks, the South Tyrolean’s career has taken a new turn: Darren Cahill has stepped down as his coach, and Magnus Norman is set to take his place.

At the Allianz event in Milan, the champion from Sesto Pusteria began by providing an update on his condition: “I’m doing well; we’re doing everything we can to get back on the court as soon as possible. I have a great team with me—there are many experts helping me come back stronger. We’re following all the protocols they’re giving us. The goal is to get back on the court as soon as possible.”

“My team knows me better than my parents do—I hardly ever see my parents. They understand me with just a glance in the morning: they’re keeping an eye on me 24 hours a day. Without them, I’d never have achieved the success I’ve had in the past—and, I hope, in the future as well.”

Sinner also had kind words for Kimi Antonelli: “I have a great passion for motorsports. We’re all happy about what Kimi Antonelli has accomplished. Each of us is different; it’s easy to talk about Kimi now, but he, too, has gone through difficult times. He’s talented, but without hard work you won’t get anywhere, and he’s worked incredibly hard.”
