“It will take me some time to assimilate. I am very happy with the way I handled the situation. The situation on the pitch was very difficult. I think the most important thing was the support I got received during those two weeks. I felt like people were watching my matches from home on TV, so I did my best,” Sinner shared his impressions.

“Today I struggled a bit in the first two sets, so I just tried to stay positive and stick to the game plan, which I had to adjust a bit. Daniil is a great player, he showed himself to be an incredible fighter. once again. He spent so many hours on the court. I feel sorry for him, but he will probably win several more titles at the Grand Slam tournaments,” said Sinner said.
