“It’s been a long time since we played against each other, Karen is a tough opponent – Sinner’s words after the match -, an incredible player from a mental and physical point of view. In the past I won with him, but every match has a story of its own I’m happy with the victory, but it was difficult. We have similar tennis, sometimes it seems like a ping-pong match. Sometimes I try to vary it and I’m happy with the result. I’m not always cold, but I try to show little emotion when I lose a point. But of course I’m annoyed and I put on a poker face.”
As for the next opponent, if the Australian De Minaur passes, the Melbourne crowd will be able to make the difference. “It’s a joy to play in front of this crowd – underlines Sinner -. It’s fun to play, try to compete and raise the level when conditions get difficult. Rublev or De Minaur? I’m a tennis fan, I’ll watch the match. If Alex wins, the crowd will be a factor, but it’s part of the game. When I play in Italy everyone cheers for me.”
