"The people give me positive energy": Jannik Sinner praises Italian crowd at 2023 ATP Finals
ATPSunday, 19 November 2023 at 11:30
Italy’s tennis star Jannik Sinner believes connecting with
the local crowd during the ATP Finals means a lot to him.
The last major tournament in the men’s tennis calendar is
currently taking place in Italy’s city of Turin where Sinner and the current
world number one Novak Djokovic have qualified for the final of the competition.
Sinner, who is still unbeaten in the tournament, was
recently quoted in a report where he stated that it was special to connect with
the local crowd during the competition.
“It’s an incredible event. It’s also the end of the year,”
he said. “Players are a bit more tired. But the people just give me positive
energy. I try to connect with the people well. It means a lot to me being in
the final. Tomorrow is gonna be really, really tough.
“But it’s a privilege to be here. It’s a privilege to play
another final. This season has been a very positive one. A good season with
many matches. I’m very happy I can come out tomorrow on this court for the last
time. Let’s see how it goes.”
Sinner defeated the world number three Russia’s Daniil Medvedev
in the semifinal of the tournament with a score of 6-3, 6-7, 6-1. On the other
hand, Djokovic defeated the world number two Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in the
last-four clash with a score of 6-3, 6-2.
