“It’s mostly emotional, because I had a very tough loss in Paris,” Sinner said during the trophy ceremony.
“But at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter how you win or how you lose at important tournaments, you just have to understand what you did wrong and try to work on that, and that’s exactly what we did. We tried to accept the loss and just kept working. This is for sure one of the reasons I am holding this trophy here. I am just so grateful that I am healthy and have great people around me, and holding this trophy means a lot.”
He praised his arch-rival Carlos Alcaraz for his grit and demonstration, backing him to hold many more trophies in the future.
“Carlos, again, an amazing tournament, but mostly thank you for the player you are. “It’s so difficult to play against you, but we have an amazing relationship off the court and on the court, we just try to build up, and to do that we need the best teams in the world. Keep going, keep pushing and you are going to hold this [trophy] many times. You already have two [titles]!
“It’s so special. Seeing my parents here, my brother, my whole team, it’s amazing. Actually a special thanks to my brother, because there is no Formula 1 race this weekend, that’s why he is here.”
