Jannik Sinner will play his first match as world number one today, Tuesday 18 June. In the ATP 500 in Halle, in the first match of the season on grass, he will challenge the Dutch Tallon Griekspoor (second match scheduled at the Owl Arena; the first starts at 11). «Sometimes I wonder how it was possible for me, who was born in a small village like Sesto, to have reached the top of the world», said Sinner. And again: «Becoming number 1 is one thing, staying there is another. I have to continue to work hard especially from a physical point of view. This is a new beginning: it’s something exciting, I can’t wait to get back on the pitch, which is where I’m happy.”
