Sinner: “I don’t think about the ranking at all”
“Against Ben, it’s not easy, there was a little tension before the match, that’s normal. But today (Friday) I returned very well, I was very solid from the baseline too. Very happy with my match. We’ll see tomorrow (Saturday) how I feel, it will be a very difficult match (against Alexander Zverev) but today I’m very happy, with almost everything.”he subsequently explained, in comments echoed by
The Team.
“Take back the place of world number 1 from Carlos Alcaraz? I don’t think about the ranking at all, I think about the way I play. Every day, there are big challenges that arise, I am focused on that. We’ll see what happens at the end of the year, for now we’re in Paris, Sinner subsequently reacted, who could overtake the Spaniard if he wins the Rolex Paris Masters. The season has been very long with very good results but nothing is a foregone conclusion. I’m very happy with where I already am. »
