Jannik Sinner ignores Nick Kyrgios: “I only think about the Slam.”
The anticipation grows for the debut with Jarry
The start of the Australian Open è around the corner. Sinner, the defending champion, can't wait to take the court and try to repeat last year's success. He'll make his debut against Jarry but, in the meantime, he'll be called upon, once again, to shed light on many points, mainly off-court.
"I don’t think I have to answer these questions, to be honest, but in my mind I know exactly what è happened, and è soì I block out these thoughts. I can’t just take them and put them aside in a box and not think about them anymore, but I know I didn’t do anything wrong, okay? I’m not going to respond to what Nick (Kyrgios, ed.) says or what other players say", the world No. 1’s clear words during the pre-Australian Open press conference.
In addition to Kyrgios’ accusations, Sinner has to deal with the Tas issue: "There is no newsà. It would be nice to be able to tell you that it è a situation I don't think about, è obviously it è in my mind and I have to live with it already for quite some time. But I can do nothing, only prepare this Slam by taking care of every detail".
In short, maximum concentration at the tournament, without "external infiltration". Sinner wants to stick to his principles, trying to isolate himself from the rest of the world. How? Sinner himself explained: "Doing things that give me joy, especially right now, helps me. And it also helps me to be surrounded by people I know and know me well, who care about me as a person as well as a tennis player".
