The time of words will soon give way to the field. Jannik Sinner will be the player who will start the dancing on the pitch Rod Laver Arena Tomorrow at 02.00 Italian time (12.00 in Australia). The Italian tennis player will open the Centrale program in these Australian Open 2024, first Slam of the new season. There are expectations about him, taking into account the brilliant results of the last months of 2023 in particular.
Feedback that allowed him to achieve the No. 4 position in the world, winning the tournaments in Beijing and Vienna, reaching the final of the Masters at the end of the year in Turin and winning the Davis Cup. And now the target is to try to win a Slam. Jannik talked about it in traditional Media-Day. To the microphones of Great tennisthe South Tyrolean was very clear.
“This year’s goal is to go hunting. There will be weeks in which we will take more and others in which it will inevitably be worse, this is the nature of sport. Let’s see what we can get. I had a few days off, less than a week, and it certainly did me good to go skiing a bit and mentally disconnect. It did me good just to follow the World Cup races on TV. But honestly I wanted to start preparing as soon as possible. I wanted to get back to work quickly because I want to have an excellent season, like last season. And to do that I still have to improve“.
Work culture and desire to continue evolving in the words of the local player. Analyzing what happened last year, Sinner pointed out: “Of all the unforgettable moments of last year, the one that I think about most often and that still gives me shivers is perhaps the Davis Cup, because I was able to share it with the team and with all the Italians. It was a success that gave a great boost to our tennis movement. There are many people who have picked up or picked up a racket again and this is the best thing. Personally, then, I add the victory in Toronto, because it gave me a lot of confidence and helped me win a lot towards the end of the year. But now I’m here and I’m happy to be able to feel the competition again“.
Then, at the press conference, Jannik also indulged in some considerations on the Alpine Skiing World Cup, which he is following, given his history as a skilful child: “I can follow having more time, not all the races obviously. It’s something in my blood, it’s normal. I was really happy when Paris won the downhill in Val Gardena. Even in the women’s field we have many strong girls, like Goggia and Brignone who are very strong. I like them because they go all out: either they win or maybe they don’t reach the finish line (smiles)“.
