"Usually I struggle on clay...": Jannik SINNER admits dominance might end, sets sights on Roland Garros
ATPTuesday, 02 April 2024 at 00:30
Italy’s tennis star Jannik Sinner has revealed that his main
target is winning the French Open after his recent triumph at the Miami Open.
The 22-year-old is often regarded as one of the most
highly-rated players currently playing in the men’s singles category alongside
Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz.
Sinner recently won the ATP 1000 title — Miami Open — after beating
Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-3,
6-1.
Sinner, while talking to the media after the match, stated
his primary objective is to win the major title while playing at Roland Garros
where he does not have a great record.
"Now the clay season is coming, so usually I struggle
there. So let's see what I can do this year. Then we see, no?" Sinner
said. "You don't have so much time to adapt, because Monaco, I guess we
start to practice Thursday the first time. So not even one week to get used to
the clay.
"For sure, the main goal is Roland Garros, yes, but
trying to work slowly into this tournament and trying to play it in the best
possible way. Before I have Rome, for me, especially is a really, really
important tournament. You know, playing with the home crowd, it's always
amazing.”
Sinner has played four times in the French Open where only
one occasion, he ended up booking a place beyond the fourth round.
His best outing while
playing at the Roland Garros came in the 2020 edition where he was knocked out
after losing in the quarterfinal to the former world number one Rafael Nadal in
straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-4, 6-1.
