Jannik Sinner says he will do everything possible to improve his ability to play in the heat, ‘Every player has their own small problems… Maybe this is mine’ “As someone who’s also a red head with pale skin who struggles in the heat, I’m wondering if you think it’s... something that’s always gonna be tough for you on some level genetically?” Jannik: “We don’t know… as I said before the tournament, physically I feel good.. Mentally also… And the only thing at times you can do is fight. Let’s see. For sure it’s an area where I’d love to improve. There’s a reason why I go to the gym every day. Trying to get better, but at the same time, every player has their own small problems. Maybe this is mine. You don’t know. For sure there is room to improve.. which I’m quite sure we will do everything possible to improve in a positive way, then we see how it goes.” (via Australian Open Press)show more

Jannik Sinner was asked about the changes he’s made to his serve since the U.S. Open, ‘At times I still lose it. It’s not a shot where I feel very safe with. At the same time, we are working on that’ “Can I get you to discuss the changes you made to your serve? In particular since the U.S. Open…” Jannik: “Yeah, I mean it’s not only US Open. I felt like the serve was and still is a shot where I need to improve. It’s the only shot we have where we can do everything by our self. There is a lot of room to improve. We changed the motion a little bit. The rhythm of the serve, before, it was too fast in the beginning. Now it’s a bit slower. The toss usually was a bit more in front, a bit on the right. Now it’s a bit more back and over the head. But at times I still lose it. It’s not a shot where I feel very safe with. In the same time we are working on that. It’s one of if not the most important shot we have. Let’s see how I’m gonna serve this season.” (via Australian Open Press)

Sinner on if there’s anything Djokovic doesn’t do as well as he used to, ‘I’m lucky to have someone like him in front of my eyes & I can hopefully learn something… I think the way he is playing and moving, if you are not professional, you don’t play at this level’ “Novak will be 39 in May. Do you think there are things he doesn’t do as well now as he used to?” Jannik: “The level he is still playing, he is I think the most professional athlete we have here in the locker room. Me as a 24 year old, I am lucky to have someone like him in front of my eyes and I can hopefully learn something. I feel like every day and every time he plays I can learn something about him, about Carlos, about all the other great, great players. I think the way he is playing and moving, if you are not professional, you don’t play at this level. He is an inspiration for all of us, especially young players.” (via Australian Open Press)

Jannik Sinner was asked if it was easier for him to talk to the Royal Family this year “Last year when we spoke you said you weren’t sure what to say to the Royal Family. Was it easier this time around?” Jannik: “It was not easier. 😂I have so much respect so I don’t… I never know where the line is. 😂 You can really see that they love this sport. This is exactly how we feel as players when we see them. They’re staying there for 4 hours under the sun with the heat, it’s really nice. I asked the kids if they still play. They’re very happy. Yes they do. We had a very very small conversation, but I love it that they also take time to talk with me.” ❤️ (via Wimbledon Press)

Jannik Sinner on loss to Novak Djokovic at Australian Open: "He's won 24 Grand Slams. We know each other very well, how we play... I'm not surprised because I feel like he's the greatest player for many many years and of course he's playing less tournaments because of his age and everything but we also know how important Grand Slams are for me, for him, for Carlos, for everyone. You know, there's this extra motivation. He played great tennis and hopefully I can also take it as a lesson to see what I can improve on." (via Australian Open Press)

Russ on what it’ll be like playing OKC in the playoffs: “I don’t know. That’s a first. That’s like home for me. I always got love for everybody there — the people, the fans. I know it’s mutual, but they also know the reason why they do love me — because I compete at a high level, and I’m going to do that every night — that’s all I can do is go out, be myself & compete. You know, try to go & steal one there.”

Jannik Sinner interview "Break Point" with Lisa Offside from the Intesa Bank. As a big chunk of Jannik Sinner 's fans are international, I took my time to translate their dialogue in English. Read below. Enjoy. 🧡 (📹Cr: Intesa Sanpaolo) "Lisa: Are you pumped, all good, everything okay? Jannik: All good. Lisa: Now let's take a little trip through your career so far, using this basket of tennis balls. Each ball has a word written on it, an emotion that reflects a moment in your life, both personal and professional. Jannik: Oh, both? Lisa: Let’s begin, pick whichever one you like. "Happiness". When I say happiness, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Jannik: Honestly, I’m happy with the, let’s say, work I’m doing. For me, it doesn’t even feel like a job yet, it still feels like a hobby. Of course, we train hard, we make a lot of sacrifices, but being happy is crucial, both in private life and within my team. I’ve had people around me who’ve made me feel very, very happy, and to me, that’s the most important thing. The tennis part is really just a reflection of how you feel off the court. Lisa: Second ball. Let’s see if we’re as lucky as the first. "Marvel". Gosh, what a marvelous thing it is to watch you play! Jannik: Marvel is such a beautiful feeling. I experience it when I’m in Italy, when I see Italian fans cheering, it's something special. Bringing something home to Italy, like the Davis Cup, being part of that group, that’s a wonderful thing. Lisa: Third ball. "Anger". This one’s my favorite because… Jannik: No surprise there, really. Lisa: Why? No, you don’t know this, but when I play tennis, I get angry really easily. And then watching you, who never seems to get angry, it kind of bugs me. But honestly, I can’t really picture you angry. Jannik: Oh, I get there, I do. Lisa: Yeah? Sure, sure... Jannik: Especially during training, because I want to improve so much. And when I can’t, that’s when the tension kicks in, you know? Lisa: Have you ever broken a racket? Jannik: Yes, yes I did. Lisa: How many? Careful, I already know the answer, so I’m testing you. Jannik: I think I’ve broken 4 or 5, yeah. Lisa: Ah, so the number’s gone up. Jannik: Maybe it's gone up, who knows. Lisa: I must warm up for the fourth ball. "Disappointment". Jannik: Disappointment is part of the game, and it’s important to learn how to handle it. It’s the same in life. When you realize that people aren’t quite who you thought they were, it’s the same thing, right? I’m someone who invests a lot of time in trying to make things work. But when I see I’m not improving, either as a tennis player or as a person, there comes a point when I say, “Okay, maybe it’s time to change”. Lisa: "Fun". Come on, tell me about the best celebration you’ve had after winning a tournament. Jannik: The US Open. Lisa: Really? Jannik: Yeah, the US Open. Lisa: Why? Jannik: Because the first Slam is more about the satisfaction of saying, “Okay, I did it”. But the second one is pure joy. We went out a bit, and I had all the people I wanted around me. Lisa: What did you guys do? Jannik: We went out, had fun. But the best part was sharing that moment with all the people who were there with me. Honestly, it was amazing. Lisa: Last ball, last word. "Fulfillment". Jannik: When I won my first Grand Slam in Australia, that was fulfillment. It was a really, really tough match. That kind of feeling also applies to personal life, right? When you find someone who makes you feel good, you also think, “Okay, I’ve found my stability”. Lisa: Thank you, Jannik. Until next time. Jannik: Thank you so much, thank you." #Sinner #JannikSinner

Carlos Alcaraz was asked if he feels a responsibility as the world #1 to be an ambassador for the good of tennis the way Federer, Nadal, & Djokovic did before him “As the world #1 and one of the biggest names in tennis, do you feel a responsibility to be an ambassador for the sport? To grow it in the way Federer, Nadal, & Djokovic did before you…” Carlos: “Not really. I don’t think about it, being a good ambassador for tennis. But obviously at the same time the way I play, I just try to entertain the people, trying to engage people to watch more tennis. A part of that is.. I’m not thinking that I have to be the best ambassador possible to tennis. It’s just stepping on the court, I’m doing what I love to do. Just playing tennis. That is the best way I can be a good ambassador. It’s about loving what you’re doing and enjoy every single second you step on the court. I think that’s it. That’s all that’s in my mind.” (via Australian Open Press)

I think we have both a little bit." ❤️ (via US Open Press)

Marcus Freeman says caring for players solely to produce better results is manipulation, and genuine love usually produces better results anyway “It’s why you do what you do. I’m a competitive dude. I want to be the best at what I do. But that’s not why I do what I do.” “I truly want to make sure the young people you coach are better football players and better men because they chose to play football at a place you’re the leader of.” “It isn’t about wins and losses as much as…‘I want this young person to be better because of the time we spent together.’ That means caring about him as an individual. Caring about his family.” “You don’t do that for me to win games. But you know what? It helps.” “At times I’m hard on them. But they know I care about them. ‘I love you.’ ‘Now I’m going to get after your ass.’ ‘I’m going to get after you, but I love you.’” “When you feel that way about somebody… That’s when you’ll run through a brick wall.”

Jannik Sinner says if he lost today in the Wimbledon final, it still would’ve been a great day, ‘There’s no failure if you don’t win a Grand Slam’ “How much did winning this feel like joy and elation and also just relief?” Jannik: “I don’t think it’s relief to be honest. The only thing I’m very happy is that I’m trying to do my best every day. Sometimes you have a tournament with a good outcome. Sometimes you just don’t have… there’s nothing you can do about it. There’s no failure if you don’t win a Grand Slam. It’s very very rare days. Now I have 5 in my whole life. We talk about 5 Grand Slams but at the end of the day these are 5 days of so many other days. You just want to enjoy it. Today was a very tough day. If I lose, it’s still a great day. Playing a grand slam final is so rare and so special.. of course if I choose I choose this outcome. But at the end of the day there are always two players. Big big respect to Sascha. He’s doing something amazing. His game is growing and growing.” (via Wimbledon Press)

LA Knigth was asked how much longer he would like to wrestle: “I’m looking at the clock all the time. The funny thing is, physically I could do this for a long time. I’m really good physically. Mentally, I’m just like, I’m gonna snuggle puppies.” Would you like to wrestle into your fifties? “No! f*ck no. Would I like to be able to come in and maybe do an occasional appearance? Yeah, sure, maybe. But I don’t think I’ve been built up to the point where I can do like an Undertaker-type thing or an Austin thing or something like that. So I don’t think that’s in my future either. So it’s pretty much gonna be at some point when I decide to call it I’m gonna disappear in the sunset, and you’ll just never see me again. I’m not even joking, I’m being dead ass serious. If they decide at some point they get crazy enough to go, we’re gonna put him in the Hall of Fame, sure, I’ll come back do that. But I got a feeling that probably ain’t gonna happen either. But maybe that’s my own feeling of just like never being… No matter where I’ve gone, I’ve always felt underappreciated in the wrestling business, but I don’t know.” (Chris Van Vliet)

Daniil Medvedev was asked if he’d like to see tennis change how it approaches extreme conditions: “I’m not sure what we can do. We probably can’t stop the tournament for 4 days bc then it basically ruins everything. TV, tickets, everything. Could we go to 3 sets when conditions are like this? Some guys wouldn’t be happy.. Maybe I’m gonna finish my career & nothing is going to happen. Then it’s fine & I’m talking for nothing. The question is.. if we don’t want something to happen & then say ‘Oh my God, Medvedev said this years ago’.. but I don’t have the solution.”

Jannik Sinner says he needs to become more unpredictable to become a better tennis player: “I was very predictable on court today. He changed up the game. That’s also his style of how he plays. Now it’s gonna be on me if I want to make changes or not. We’re definitely gonna work on that.” “I didn’t make one serve and volley. I didn’t use a lot of drop shots. Then you arrive at the point where you have to play Carlos, you have to go out of the comfort zone. I’m gonna aim… maybe even lose some matches from now on, but trying to do some changes. To be a bit more unpredictable as a player. That’s what I have to do, trying to become a better tennis player. At the end of the day that’s my main goal.”

Iga Swiatek on constantly being filmed at Australian Open and other tournaments, ‘The question is, are we tennis players? Or are we animals in the zoo? It would be nice to have some privacy’ “I wanted to ask something that Coco was talking about last night. The cameras backstage at the tournament… I know you got filmed recently forgetting your credential… you’re sort of always on camera at a lot of different tournament areas.. I’m wondering if you think there should be more privacy for players and their teams as they’re back there? Or how you see the balance of that versus them trying to have entertainment and content coming out.” Iga: “The question is, are we tennis players? Or are we animals in the zoo? Where they are observed even when they’re pooping. Ok, that was exaggerating obviously, but it would be nice to have some privacy. It would be nice also to have your own process and not always be observed. For example, in other sports, you have some technical things you wanna do. It would be nice to have some space you can do that without the whole world watching. On Wimbledon there are courts where people with accreditation can get there but it’s without the fans. There are some tournaments where it’s impossible and you’re constantly observed. I don’t think it should be like that because we are tennis players. We’re meant to be watched on court and in the press. That’s our job. It’s not our job to be a meme when you forget your accreditation. It’s funny for sure. People have something to talk about. For us, I don’t think it’s necessary.” “Have you talked to the tournament about it here?” Iga: “What’s the point?” (via Australian Open Press)

Iga Swiatek on constantly being filmed at Australian Open and other tournaments, ‘The question is, are we tennis players? Or are we animals in the zoo? It would be nice to have some privacy’ “I wanted to ask something that Coco was talking about last night. The cameras backstage at the tournament… I know you got filmed recently forgetting your credential… you’re sort of always on camera at a lot of different tournament areas.. I’m wondering if you think there should be more privacy for players and their teams as they’re back there? Or how you see the balance of that versus them trying to have entertainment and content coming out.” Iga: “The question is, are we tennis players? Or are we animals in the zoo?

🎥 || Jenson Button talks about whether Ferrari can be contenders this year and if Lewis Hamilton could still get his 8th title. “It was tough, I have to say, watching Lewis in 2025. You know, we were teammates for 3 years, I understand how good he is. So it was really tough to see him struggle with the team and you could see it in his face how much it was hurting. You kind of forget everything else he’s achieved at that moment in time because you just see the pain.” “But I think with the new regulation changes, we will see Lewis Hamilton back to his best, I really do. Because he’s going to have input in how the car is designed and have confidence in him taking a direction that works for him. So I hope to see that, we want to see Ferrari at the front and we all want to see Lewis fighting at the front again.” [Do you think an eight title is possible for him?] “I mean, I’ll tell you after the first race whether it’s possible or not, but with the way the reg changes are, anything is possible, and I really do hope that we see Ferrari at the front.”

'Lewis has the full support of everybody at Maranello. I will be supportive every single day with Lewis.' Q: I remember the guys at Mercedes telling me Lewis is incredibly structured in his life. Is he a good motivator for Ferrari? Have you seen him have that positive effect on the people? "This, for sure. But he is also emotional, it means that its also us to support him when he is struggling and we also need to push him when he is struggling. Spa and Budapest were difficult for him, but he can be sure that he has the full support of everybody at Maranello to recover, to be back. I'm really convinced that he will do it and we have to be supportive with him on every single day and I will be supportive every single day with Lewis."
