Jannik Sinner, no extra training in night after marathon due to rain

Jannik Sinner spoke hot on the Italian night after beating Adrian Mannarino in the round of 16 of the Cincinnati Masters 1000 with a score of 6-4 7-6 (4). A match that lasted one’hour and 48 minutes but due to a nearly three-hour rain interruption turned into a marathon.

“Mannarino is a very difficult opponent, different from all the others. He served very well. I tried to change the position in response, I struggled to close the match but it happens in sports. I am happy to be in the next round”.

Sinner will return to the court as early as Thursday night after 9 p.m. to play the quarterfinals against Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, who was victorious over transalpine Benjamin Bonzi.

“I’m going to play right away, so now I won’t train – he added, referring to the extra post-match first-round session -I need to keep my body as fresh as possible. Getting to the quarters in every tournament is very important, I hope to raise the level”.
