Sinner after the victory: “One step at a time”

“One step at a time, one goal at a time.” Jannik Sinner, after an hour and twenty minutes of the match against Thanasi Kokkinakis, makes no proclamations. As always he prefers facts to words, or numbers. Like the 16 consecutive victories, 13 since the beginning of the year, where he remains undefeated. “It wasn’t easy at the beginning – comments the South Tyrolean – I struggled a bit, I had to find the feeling with the ball and the pitch. He is a treacherous opponent, he is very strong and he put me in difficulty”. Until Cahill’s student decided it was time to stop wasting time. Since 5-3 in the first set, Sinner has no longer conceded a game to his opponent: “We worked a lot both on the serve and in the gym – said the number 3 in the world -. And I think you can see that I’m stronger. Which Is the next goal? To improve day by day.”

Meanwhile, Indian Wells, again this year, is the tournament where Jannik brings his father Hanspeter, who is responsible for feeding the entire troop thanks to his culinary skills. All together in a house, a relaxed environment, just as Sinner likes it and whenever he can he tries to make up for some of the lost time with his family: “Dad is here and I’m happy – he said after the match, still on the pitch – It’s nice to be here all together, don’t worry, we have fun, we work, we feel good.” There is no Simone Vagnozzi, who remained in Italy for a small operation, but is ready to rejoin the group in Miami.
