Wimbledon, Sinner: “Satisfied with how I’m playing, how nice is the public affection”

Now wait to find out the next opponent between the American Ben Shelton and the Canadian Denis Shapovalov

ROMA – He relaxed, he won and now he waits. It is the story of the last hours of Jannik Sinner‘s first week in this edition of Wimbledon, which he is facing as world number 1. “It’s been a long day,” he said on the night after his three-set win over Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic that took him into the round of 16. “I warmed up, I slept, I watched a bit of tennis and football – he said – I tried to relax a bit… But there is no problem in waiting if you then have the honor of playing on the most prestigious field in the world”.

Now wait to find out the next opponent between the American Ben Shelton and the Canadian Denis Shapovalov. The match between them was suspended due to rain during the first set and will resume today: “Two completely different players, the only thing in common is the fact that they are both left-handed. And in any case they have quality, talent and serve well. It will be in every case a complicated match.” However, the blue is well and ready. “I archived the first week with positive sensations – he explained – I passed three rounds with players of different characteristics and I am satisfied with the performance“.

And then there are the people in the stands pushing him. Even after the match with Kecmanovic, despite the late hour, he returned the affection by remaining on the pitch to sign autographs and take photos. “The support of the public makes it even more beautiful“, he commented as a true number 1.
