“On the eve of this tournament, the goal was to get to the best at the US Open. I used the rest day on August 15th, and given the energy spent today, tomorrow will be a day of relaxation”
Another victory in two sets, against Terence Atmane, for Jannik Sinner. A game that has never escaped the control of the blue but that, in the first set, could complicate. As he explained in the statements made on the field in the post match. “It was a very hard challenge”, explains the n.1 in the world, “when you face an opponent that you don’t know is difficult, even more in the last two rounds. He played all and had beaten strong players, I knew I should have been very prudent. Atmane in the first served really well, he has great potential, I wish him the best. I am happy to be back in the final”.
take advantage of rest

In the new Masters 1000 to 12 days, as in the Slam, there is always one day of rest between one match. And the makeup lies in knowing how to make the most of these days off, which are never all the same. “There are two genres during the day of rest”, observes Sinner, “those in which you recover and those in which you can work on something you didn’t like in the previous match. On the eve of this tournament the goal was to get to the best at the US Open. I used the rest day on August 15, and given the energies spent today, tomorrow will be a day of relaxation”.
the last step

Relax that will serve to recharge the piles in view of the final, against Alcaraz or Zverev. A game of other caliber, as emerges from the Italian joke released by n.1 in the queue of the declarations. “Perhaps in the first set he helped the experience,” he reflects, “and it was very important for me. The final will however be a totally different game, I hope to still be in a winning position, we will see how it goes”. The appointment is on Monday 18 August, 9.00 pm Italian, for the Cincinnati Masters 1000 final. Last game in singular, however it goes, for Sinner Pre US Open.
