This weekend, Jannik Sinner brought out his categorical dominance today. He did it within the framework of the grand final of the Shanghai Masters 1000in China, where he surpassed himself Novak Djokovic in straight sets to shout champion.
At the same time, in this way, the outstanding Italian tennis player consolidated himself at the top of the ATP Rankings and with a lot of distance over his closest pursuers. Thus he put a cold shoulder to the controversy generated by his recent positive doping test.
Likewise, after consummating his conquest in Shanghai, Sinner seemed truly dejected, something that caught the attention of locals and strangers. And, shortly after the coronation, the Italian tennis player shared details about what happened.
“People think that when you win or are successful, you don’t have any problems, but that’s not true. “I’m not in a very pleasant position and I would like not to feel that way off the field.”Sinner expressed about his current situation.
“I would love to be able to play more freely and enjoy the game a little more”Sinner deepened. And, logically, his concern has to do with the aforementioned doping that dates back to his participation in the Indian Wells competition, in the United States.
“This year was very, very hard for me. QI lost my smile a little because I had some problems off the court and these are still in my head at times. It is never easy to play in these circumstances but I try to enjoy it as much as I can,” he said.
And finally, who beat the legendary Serbian Novak Djokovic by a resounding 7-6(4) and 6-3 in the Shanghai final, revealed: “I just try to stay calm and not cause problems when I miss a shot or when I have bad luck.”
