Jannik Sinner fires back: "I've had a consistent year" after Canadian Open exit
ATPMonday, 12 August 2024 at 20:30
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner addressed the criticism following his quarterfinal defeat at the Canadian Open. Sinner, who was aiming to defend his title, was halted by Andrey Rublev with a scoreline of 3-6, 6-1, 2-6. The Italian faces yet another disappointment amidst physical struggles that forced him to withdraw from the recent Olympic Games.
The 22-year-old has now arrived in Cincinnati, where he will have a few days to rest before hitting the court, as he advanced directly to the second round as the first seed. Sinner faced the press to respond to the criticisms he has received.
Sinner Responds to Criticism
On Saturday morning, Sinner defeated 15th seed Alejandro Tabilo to secure his spot in the quarterfinals. However, due to constant rain delays in Montreal, he had only a few hours of rest before facing Rublev in the quarterfinals.
It was not a strong performance from Sinner, who, aside from the loss, appeared physically drained, clearly impacted by the match earlier in the day. He also struggled to recover from rallies, likely due to the tonsillitis that kept him out of the Olympic Games.
Upon his arrival in Cincinnati, Sinner acknowledged that he is not at 100% at the moment, although he hopes to regain the consistency he has shown throughout the year. He also responded to the criticism: "We often forget about the season I'm having. I've won a lot of matches and lost very few; today marks just my fifth defeat since the beginning of the year,” the world No. 1 said.
“I don't see what the problem is: I also know that I shouldn't focus too much on these statistics, but so far my year has been very consistent. I've reached at least the quarterfinals in all the tournaments I've participated in," the 2024 Australian Open champion added, visibly frustrated by the criticism directed at him.
