World number one Jannik Sinner has admitted that he has to
be in a ‘better shape’ if he wants to win a Grand Slam. The
23-year-old is already regarded as one of the best players currently playing in
the singles category in men’s tennis, along with Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and
Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.
Sinner is currently participating in the Cincinnati Open, where
he booked his place in the final after beating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in
the semifinal with a score of 7-6, 5-7, 7-6 on Sunday. Talking after the match,
the reigning world number one highlighted the importance of the result for him
after going through a bit of a physical struggle in the recent past. Sinner also
went on to admit that he has to be in better shape if he wants to win more
Grand Slams in the future.
"It means a lot to me. It's a very different moment,
what I'm going through, so I'm very happy about this result," he said. "The
physical aspect, of course, I have to improve, because if I want to win Grand
Slams or a bigger title, I have to be, for sure, more in shape. But I just
tried to stay there mentally, which I'm very proud [of], and let's see what's
coming [Monday].”
Sinner has only won one major title in his career which was
the Australian Open this year. He defeated Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the
final in a five-set thriller with a score of 3–6, 3–6, 6–4, 6–4, 6–3. The San
Candido-born will now face America’s Frances Tiafoe in the final of the
Cincinnati Open. He defeated Norway’s Casper Ruud in the semifinal with a score
of 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7-4). It will be the fourth meeting between the two in professional
tennis. In the previous three meetings, Sinner had a slight edge as he won twice.
