Jannik Sinner

I never posted pictures with my parents, maybe one with my brother.

I can cook to survive.

I was always quite skinny and everything.

I like this sport because it reveals characters and personalities, especially when things go wrong. In tennis you can make mistakes but still win a match. There are plenty of things that can happen on the court, you only have to be always ready.

I don't like to drink. I'm happy with a Coca-Cola.

You always have to find a solution against each opponent. I think that's what I try to do.

I always have players who are going to make me a better player, because there are going to be times where they beat me. Then you have to try to find a way how to win against certain players.

If I have to play the slice, I can play now without thinking. Before it was always a bit different.

One year I won many trophies when skiing, but then the year after I felt that physically, the others were so much stronger.

As I always say, we live in the present moment.

In skiing, it was more that if you make one mistake you cannot win the race, while in tennis you can make some mistakes and still win the match. I think that's the biggest lesson that I have learned from skiing. Obviously, they are two different sports, but maybe the coordination, the balance and the sliding helped me a little bit to play tennis.

I'm the kind of player who needs just a little bit of time. To live these moments, to play in center courts, to play against the best players in the world in important moments or in the final stages of the tournaments.

For sure, physically I've improved. I'm much stronger.

When each of us makes pasta pomodoro for the first time you say 'it's missing salt,' and you add more salt, then you say 'it's missing fresh tomatoes' and you put them in, then you add in basil. So you add ingredients to always improve more. But you also have to be careful you don't add too much otherwise the dish doesn't become better.

Obviously I play because I dream of becoming No. 1 in the world and to win a Grand Slam. But the most important thing is to focus on my development.

Go-karts are another passion of mine.

Wimbledon is the only tournament where you feel the real history of tennis.

My goals are never ranking orientated.

Carlos plays a very, very high level, as I do, and the rhythm of the match is quite fast so you have less time to think. You have to be ready for every situation and that's why, when we play against each other, usually the level is good; they're good matches. So if you accept also to lose and accept to work on things afterwards, then you improve.

It's not easy to play the highest level throughout one year or so. There's always going to be a couple of moments where you drop a bit, but with the right mentality, then you can restart again.
