Jannik Sinner sets the record straight on the eve of the new challenge

First Cincinnati, then the U.S. Open: after a well-deserved vacation following the Wimbledon tournament and the decision not to participate in the Toronto Masters 1000, the Jannik Sinner current ATP No. 1 has clear ideas on how to try to maintain the top of the rankings despite the many points to defend, to continue the series of consecutive weeks as leader that arrived on July 28 at 60.

The South Tyrolean, who in the meantime has made further changes within his team, with the’farewell before Wilmbledon to Marco Panichi and Ulises Badio and the return a few days ago of Umberto Ferrara in the role of athletic trainer, has been training in Monte Carlo, where he resides, before departing for North America.

Sinner wants to leave nothing to chance on the eve of an important challenge, that of repeating himself both in’Ohio and in Flushing Meadows, where he won last year. Only by repeating, in fact, would he not lose any of the points he has accumulated, putting additional pressure on his friend-rival Carlos Alcaraz who, on the other hand, has everything to gain having exited in 2024 in the 32nd round in both tournaments.

The victory at Wimbledon in yet another chapter in the sporting rivalry between the two young champions, has dented the certainties of the Murcian, who by the way in the last two years has suffered in the last phase of the season.

Sinner wants instead to repeat what he showed in turn just in late summer and early autumn as much in 2023 as in 2024, with the ambition of remaining the best tennis player in the world in 2025 as well.
