After winning the Australian Open, Jannik Sinner, 22, is still getting used to life as a Grand Slam champion. However, he is focused on rising to the top of the men’s tennis world and insists he will not give up.
After defeating top-seeded Novak Djokovic in the semifinals, the world number four came back from a two-set deficit to defeat 2021 U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev 3-6 3-6 6-4 6-4 6-3 to win his first major championship last month.
Sinner’s consistent progress distinguishes him as a potential world number one. Last season, Sinner also defeated Djokovic in the Davis Cup semifinals and the ATP Finals group stage.
“Well, let’s see. I’m not big on ranking things. Sinner stated to the ATP prior to his opening round at the Rotterdam Open on Tuesday against Botic van de Zandschulp, “I just try to be happy on court and improve as a player.”
The only thing I have control over is that. I’m content with my current ranking of number four. Undoubtedly, my goal is to top the world rankings, and I’ll do everything in my power to achieve that.” After winning the Melbourne Park trophy, Sinner thanked his family for their support but revealed that, because of the increased attention that has followed his triumph, he has not yet seen his parents.
“It was strange for me and even more strange for them,” stated Sinner. “I’ll see them following this competition. I’m heading over to my folks’ house.
“There are several media outside the house when we call each other. There has undoubtedly been some change. But my parents and I are still the same person that I was before moving to Australia.”
