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)

Novak Djokovic was asked about why American men don’t dominate tennis anymore: “I don’t think you’re lacking players… it’s just, maybe at the moment, you don’t have someone that would take it to the next step and play for Grand Slams and be top player of the world. But that could change very quickly. Women’s tennis is doing very well currently with American players.” “I think it’s not a big issue, it’s a matter of time.” (via Australian Open Press)

Novak Djokovic says for 99% of the players, reaching a Grand Slam final and a Grand Slam semifinal so far this year would be a very good result, but for him, it’s not enough “At this point in your career, does it still remain about winning titles? Or can you leave a tournament like this with some satisfaction of being able to still compete at that high level and reach a semi of a major?” Novak: “Last year I reached 4 semifinals. This year out of 3 Slams I reached 1 final and 1 semifinal. For 99% of players that would be a very good Grand Slam result, for me it’s not good enough. Because I’m blessed and cursed to be used to something of the highest degree in terms of results and achievements. In some way I’m also dealing with myself in a sense that I’m telling myself, look, this is amazing that you’re still able to play at such a high level and push the youngsters to the limit for Grand Slam titles. But at the same time, I always have the highest expectations for myself. It’s kind of that internal battle of what I’ve been through for 20+ years of my career, what the goals were, the expectations.. and trying to also balance it out and trying to be a bit more humble in that sense. I still enjoy the thrill of competition. Maybe I don’t enjoy all the hard weeks leading up to big tournaments, putting myself over and over again through a lot of pain, physically mostly. I’m glad that this tournament the body held pretty well. Pretty much every other tournament the last few years it was always something. I feel like when I’m healthy I’m still able to play as a top 5 player, still able to compete at the highest level. I like it. I like this life. Tennis has given me everything in my life and has allowed me an opportunity to become who I am. At the same time of course there’s always a question of how far do you wanna go, what you wanna play, how you wanna play, etc. I try to take it, in a sense, a day at a time and see how I feel. I don’t have any pressure or no one is forcing me to play. I do it because I really want to and because I still can play as a top 5 player. Let’s see what’s the future brings.” (via Wimbledon Press)

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)

Novak Djokovic says his Grand Slam results are not good enough for him given who he is: "I reached 4 semifinals last season. This year I made one final and one semifinal. For the vast majority of players that would be a very good Grand Slam season, but for me it’s simply not good enough. Because I am both blessed and cursed that I am used to something of the highest degree in terms of results and achievements. I always have the highest expectations for myself. It’s kind of that internal battle of what I have been through for over 20 years of my career, what the goals were, the expectations and trying to also balance it out and trying to be a bit more humble in that sense. Tennis has given me everything I have in my life and has opened opportunities to become who I am. At the same time of course there is always a question of how far do I want to keep pushing, what I want to play, how I want to play, etc. I try to take it one day at a time and see how I feel. I don’t have any pressure and no one is forcing me to play. I do it because I really want to and because I still can produce top level tennis. Let’s see what’s the future holds."

Alcaraz was asked if he can dream of completing a Calendar Slam “Now that you’ve won the career Slam at such a crazy age… can you dream of winning all 4 in the same year?” Carlos: “It’s gonna be a big challenge. Those are big words to be honest. I just want it to be one at a time. Next one is French Open. I have great memories there. I don’t want to put myself in a pressure position to have to do it. But it’s gonna be great. I’ll try to be ready, to work hard, to recover and practice well and play a good tournament in the next Grand Slam.” (via Australian Open Press)

Novak Djokovic says he knew he’d have to beat both Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz to win the title: “I knew I’d probably have to beat two of them on the way to the title. I beat one,which is great. It’s a step more further than I’ve gone in Grand Slams than last year. Very nice and encouraging, but not enough for me. I’m gonna keep pushing and see if I get another chance.” (via Australian Open Press)

No superstitions. I’m very normal 😭. I like to spend time with my team. With my friends. World Cup is now. I think tomorrow England is playing... I like to watch football at the moment. The final is I think at 4. It’s late afternoon. You can sleep a little later. I’m very relaxed. I don’t have anything I do in the same thing over and over again. I also enjoy the moment. I know how rare these days are. Grand slam finals. Tough to achieve and to arrive. You also need to enjoy this moment and the process” ❤️ (via Wimbledon Press)

At this point, I’d say that’s the pinnacle of my career.. at the same time, if he & Rafa didn’t exist.. well that’s not possible. I played 5 finals against them & only won 1.. he pushes me to be better.. we met when I was 500 in the world. He was super kind to me. He treated me as a normal person. He still does. Nothing changed. 24 Grand Slams, nothing changed. I think that’s something great about a person.” 🥹

Obviously it was the first time Novak lost in the 1st round here in this tournament. So it’s a big surprise to be honest. Someone like Novak going out in the tournament in the 1st round is surprising. But here, every Grand Slam, it’s really difficult to get through every round. Every player is really tough. You have to earn the win since the first ball until the last one. As you said, he was in my part of the draw, but it would’ve been in the semis. For me the semis are still far away. I just try to be round by round.” (via US Open Press)

[...] Then the first win against him, which seemed surreal to me. [..] I think we can be very very happy that he's still here giving his 100%, that he's trying to win his 25th slam...
