Jannik Sinner has declared himself fit and ready for Wimbledon, having overcome doubts about his hip injury that plagued him during Roland Garros. “After Paris I took some days off and then back to work… I feel physically much better than in the beginning of Roland Garros because there I arrived with some doubts. Here I have no doubts about my body,” said Sinner, adding that he has been working hard in the days leading up to Wimbledon.
Sinner, the first Italian to reach No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings, enters Wimbledon as the top seed for the first time at a Grand Slam tournament. He brings confidence from winning his maiden grass-court title at the ATP 500 event in Halle. Reflecting on his preparation, Sinner said, “Obviously last week for me was an important week. Last year I played semis here, so in my mind I know that I can play also some good tennis on this surface.”
In practice, Sinner had the opportunity to hit with seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic, who is recovering from knee surgery. “We hit only 45 minutes there playing points. It’s also tough to understand what level he is. But for sure he is one of the greatest to play on this court. So for me [it] was a huge privilege and honour to practise with him,” Sinner said.
Sinner is now fully focused on Wimbledon, aiming for his second major title after his Australian Open triumph earlier this year. “Very happy to be back here. It’s a very, very special tournament coming up… I’m trying to find a good form here on these courts, hopefully being ready for this tournament,” he concluded.
