"Couldn't sleep, was sweating during the night": Jannik SINNER recounts first Miami Open final in reaching third in four years

Jannik Sinner has reached his third final in four editions at the Miami Open and he recounted his first after thrashing Daniil Medvedev 6-1, 6-2 in the semi-finals when he lost out to Hubert Hurkacz.
He was beaten also in 2023 against Daniil Medvedev 7-5, 6-3 who he has since got the better of on a number of occasions and seems to have a hoodoo over. But it was a different complexion in 2021 with Sinner not able to sleep and was sweating the night before. He said he now handles the situation a lot better.
It is also a different complexion in the final as he will face off against Grigor Dimitrov instead of Alexander Zverev after a terrific win through the night for the Bulgarian who returns to the top 10 for the first time in 65 months and will now do battle with Sinner this Sunday.
“I remember the night before the final, I couldn't sleep. I was sweating during the night and now I handled the situation much better," said Sinner post match.
"For me, it's the third time that I can play the final here in Miami, which is an amazing achievement for me personally, and then hopefully I can lift once the bigger trophy. If not, it was again a great result, a great opportunity, and that's it."
"The first time I came here I made final, like, I couldn't sleep the night. The second time, which was last year, I was relaxed because I went through periods of where I made already, you know, experiences. Now I'm a different player, different person. I will handle it hopefully a little bit better again. If I win, good. If not, it's again a great result."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
