"My head is always moving towards improvement": Jannik Sinner's mind moves straight onto Indian Wells after Rotterdam triumph
ATPMonday, 19 February 2024 at 13:30
Certainly not resting on his laurels, Jannik Sinner will look to head straight on to his next goal which will see him play during the Sunshine Double in Indian Wells and Miami.
Sinner claimed the Rotterdam Open on Sunday defeating Aussie ace, Alex de Minaur 7-5, 6-4 for his second title of the season after winning the Australian Open and remains unbeaten so far this season. He won his maiden Grand Slam having not played before that point in the season so currently sits at 12-0.
The new World Number Three takes over this week in the ATP Ranking and sees him reach another milestone in his career so far, but he certainly sees improvement needed and it is what he constantly wants so he doesn't stagnate. It will also be needed with his status now seeing further expectations.
"It means a lot to win after last year, it means that I have learned from my mistakes. It is an important trophy for me, they have always helped me. The final was difficult, I tried to stay there mentally. I struggled with the service, but I can't always do everything perfectly. Now head to Indian Wells. The game is won with work during the week, there is 80-90 percent of training behind a victory.
"We are consistent, we have good recovery and this makes me a better player. My head is always moving towards improvement and this brings positivity. Now I feel more confident, the results are coming. Now let's try to sort out other details in view of the next tournaments," explained Jannik to Sky Sport.

- Sabalenka seems so unhappy. When you get angry after every mistake you make on court, you’ve got some issues sweetie! She also does seem to be “partying” a lot if you follow her social media (I don’t lolol). Very immature personality.DaveyWavey03-09-2026
- The main difference for bigger names like Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverez, etc. is that they usually make it to the later stages of tournaments while 99% of the other players win a round or two and then move on to the next tournament. The bigger names are playing more, playing longer and therefore more injury issues. The money is great but it all comes with a price!DaveyWavey03-09-2026

- Great article! I began cheering for the “real” doubles specialists at the beginning but once they all lost their respective matches I really didn’t care who actually won the whole tournament. I liked the last four teams in the semifinals and would have enjoyed seeing any of them win the trophy! Not sure it really feels like a TRUE Grand Slam win however (and I know history will say it is!). Happy for Muchova/Mensik. Karolina is now a Grand Slam winner.DaveyWavey27-08-2026
