World No. 1 Jannik Sinner believes he resigned from the game after his Wimbledon triumph was the best decision he could make. Now he was rested and recharged, the Italian is ready to defend his open title Cincinnati when he returns to court after almost a month break.
23 -year -old man tolerated emotionally taxed early summer and lost the exhausting final of the French Open for Carlos Alcaraz before jumping back to beat the Spaniard in Wimbledon and claim your fourth Grand Slam title. It was a peak in an otherwise turbulent season, which included a short suspension due to an unintentional doping offense.
After his success in the English club, Sinner chose to recover over the competition. “The body and mind must recover and have to understand what happened,” he told reporters in Ohio on Wednesday. “I am very happy to take some time off, I saw my family and friends and very important people I have around. I have ever made some mistakes in the past, sometimes I started too early.”
Sinner will start his defense of the title at Cincinnati with the first round. The Italian also explained that his break was carefully considered a decision made after consultation with his team. “When you win big titles, these are very strange moments and then you have to leave them,” he said.
During his Wednesday training, he attracted world attention with American Christopher Eubanks, where he had a protective sleeve on his right elbow. Sinner explained that the sleeve was not caused by injury, but rather for added stability.
“The elbow is good. Today I was the first time I dressed my sleeve because I liked the feeling,” he said. “The impact on the ball is a little more stable and I liked it in Wimbledon. I had to see how it was when it is very hot and damp … but I really love a sense of pure strike.”
Cincinnati Masters serves as a key tuning for the US Open, which starts on 23 August. A well -disgusting sinner now seems to fine -tune his game and gain strength before the last Grand Slam season.
