I am still the same person I was before Australia

Following a couple of weeks off after he captured his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, Jannik Sinner will be back in action this week at the ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam. Unsurprisingly, Sinner has been busy since his triumph at Melbourne Park–but he is eager to get back on the court.

“There were some busy days after Melbourne,” the 22-year-old Italian assured. “I went to Rome to meet some of the most important people in Italy, which was really nice for me. But then after two days I went to Monaco and rested two days, and we started to practice again like usual days. That’s what I love to do; I love to play tennis; I love to stay on the court…. Even if my coaches sometimes say try to rest, I always have to do something.

“[Life] has a changed a little bit, for sure, but in the other way I am still the same person I was before Australia. Even my parents, they are the same. They still go to work like usual days, so it’s all good…. It has been busy, but obviously (I’m) really happy to be here in Rotterdam–just trying to play some good tennis.”

Sinner played great at this tournament last year, reaching the final before falling to Daniil Medvedev in three sets. The world No. 4 will begin this week on Wednesday against Botic van de Zandschulp, the same opponent whom he defeated in round one of the Aussie Open.

“Indoors it’s completely different,” Sinner commented. “I have a lot of respect for him; he’s a great, great player. Obviously the crowd is going to support him. We will see how it goes.”
