Jannik Sinner makes no drama: he knows exactly what he needs now

An unexpected defeat. Aleksander Bublik played a near-perfect match on serve while Jannik Sinner was not as perfect. Result: exit from the Halle tournament in the round of 16 for the world number 1 who had not suffered a defeat before the quarterfinals since the Shanghai tournament in 2023.

“In the first set I played good tennis, I had a lot of break points. On the grass it&#8217s a snap to lose your serve. I had my chances but I did not take advantage of them”, the’careful analysis of Jannik Sinner, who was defending champion in Halle.

.

In fact, the Blue has played only two matches on grass. A few to prepare himself as well as possible for Wimbledon, a tournament in which, in fact, he will also play for the first place in the ATP ranking with his rival Carlos Alcaraz (who doesn&#8217t give up a shot, even at Queen’s). Jannik Sinner, despite two recent defeats, in the final in Paris and in the round of 16 in Halle, is not worried at all.

“Now I have to think about recovering both physically and mentally. I need that. For Wimbledon there&#8217s still a week to prepare. So I will take some time off which, honestly, I think will be good for me” his closing remarks in the post-match press conference with Aleksander Bublik. In short, a few days to metabolize everything to come back stronger than ever.
