The Italian after the knockout in the semi-final: “I’m not surprised because for years he was the best. I will take this defeat as a lesson. If I had to take something positive I would say the serve”
Jannik Sinner is sulking, more sad than angry. Not being able to defend the title won in the last two editions is a situation that embitters him. “It was a very important Slam for me. I had many chances, even in the fifth set. I tried to do different things but it didn’t work. I made mistakes, it happens in tennis… Physically I feel good, there’s nothing wrong. He was simply better than me. Nole has won 24 Slams, we know each other well, we’ve played against each other many times.”

He was the favorite on the eve, there’s no denying it. But yet another Slam final between him and Alcaraz will not happen this time. “I’m not surprised because for years Nole was the best. I will take this defeat as a lesson. If I have to take something positive I would say the serve, I gave everything I had and it wasn’t enough. However, I think we have made progress.”
