Sinner after the defeat in the final in Turin: “I thank my team, at the beginning of the season I was one player and today I am another. And we can still improve a lot”
“I want to congratulate Nole for this week (and not only): you started the season by winning and you ended it by winning – he says – you won three slams and many other tournaments”. This is how Jannik Sinner paid homage to Novak Djokovic after his defeat in the ATP Finals: “You are an inspiration not only for everyone who is watching, but above all for the players. Show the professionalism you have, both you and your team. Congratulations to you too.”

“I want to thank my team – added Sinner -. We have played many matches in the last three months and we have improved. Throughout the season and also in this tournament I have been lucky enough to play against the best in the world and today too we saw that we can improve a lot. Let’s look at the positive things about this season. We started at the beginning of the year when I was a player and now I’m another. Thanks to you who make me understand many things.”

On the atmosphere of these Finals: “It was a week where you picked me up like a little child and you gave me strength in difficult moments, not only on the pitch.” Sinner’s grand finale then looks further: “I thank the Federation: in 2019 I played in Milan in the Next Gen with a wild card and I wouldn’t have thought of getting to play here in Turin in the best tournament of the year”. And above all: “We still have the Davis Cup and we hope to do well there too.”
