"Since getting my first points, it’s gone very fast" - Sinner on his rise

Jannik Sinner is one of the most talented guys on the whole ATP Tour. Many predict him a bright future and since a very young age, the Italian is working with the best coaches in the world. Now, Jannik spoke to ATPTour.com about his rise as well as how he is going to spend the quarantine.

"One of the reasons for my rapid rise up the [FedEx ATP Rankings] has been due to playing older players, adults, as a junior. I remember losing in the Sharm El Sheikh first round and telling Riccardo to put me in Futures events from now on. There were many tough times and lots of first-round losses, but since getting my first points [in February 2018], it’s gone very fast. Last year’s Next Gen ATP Finals title was very nice for me, of course, but I didn’t party of anything. I went to a Challenger tournament near my home and searched for the feeling of victory again. I am just trying to grow and improve day-after-day."

Sinner also spoke about how he reacted to Tour suspension as well as cancellation of the Wimbledon.

"Hopefully, the Coronavirus will go away as soon as possible. I know every country is doing its best to lockdown. I do get bored easily because normally I am always on the move. When I was younger, I went out to play with friends, sports like football with my classmates. I think it’s important to play a lot of sports before you decide. Today, all I can do is relax, work on my fitness and watch TV series. Hearing the news of Wimbledon’s cancellation, Riccardo and my team will need to draw up a plan. Over the past 12 months, I’ve improved my forehand, but during this Tour suspension we still need to work on it", Sinner said.
