Jannik Sinner calms everyone down after knockout

Jannik Sinner commented in a press conference on his defeat to Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals of the Montreal Masters 1000: "Sì, è it was a difficult match. I did not start very well but then after the second set I was in a better situation. In the third è it went com’è but that’s okay, è it happens. He played better in the important moments and deserved to win”.

“The physical problem? È a very simple explanation: today playing two matches in one day è was definitely hard for everyone because é not what we are used to – added the world number one -. Of course, he was tired too. He breached me first but then the match è changed. I had five break points in the first game of the deciding set: I did not exploit them, there’was some tension, it can’happen".

"If è was that the turning point? I don’t know, everything was normal. I was down 1-0, I was serving but I played a bad batting round. You know, at that moment, when you had some chances, you couldn’t take advantage of them and then è he to break the next game, the confidence level è changed for sure. He then served very well throughout the set. It can è happen. I mean, Andrey played very well in the first set, I managed to react in the second, I had my chances in the third, but in the end he played better in the important moments".

Finally, the South Tyrolean reassured everyone about his physical condition: "&everything is fine. I think this kind of thing is a little bit more mental than physical. Although I know my body is not è as ready as I would like because of the past few weeks, but è a mental state as well. Hopefully I will be back in shape. Obviously now to do miracles in the next five days is not è possible, so to be 100% ready for Cincinnati I don’t think is conceivable, but I think I am able to do it for the US Open, which è also the main event of the North American swing, the last Slam of the year. So I am aiming”.
