Jannik Sinner wants to face and beat Federer, Nadal, Djokovic
In an interview to Corriere the 18-year-old Italian player Jannik Sinner spoke about what players he would like to face and on which surface. Sinner said: "Federer and Djokovic on hard, and Nadal on clay because if I win it means I am pretty good."
On training with Djokovic in the north of Italy, Sinner added: "In the beginning I was tense then it was better.
The best advice did he ever get? "By Maria Sharapova who was training with my coach Riccardo Piatti. I asked her if at my age she was waiting for the unforced error or if she went for her shots. She picked the second option."
On the buzz around him, Sinner said: "I do not read articles about me. You speak a lo, maybe too much for what I did: i just won two Challengers. It doesn't mean anything. At night I sleep very well and sometimes I sleep during the day too."
On his most intense highlights of the season, Sinner said: "They are three. With Stan Wawrinka at the US Open, when I lost but I understood I had a place in the world. With Gael Monfils, who I beat i. Antwerp. With Alcarez in Alicante: I was leading 3-0 in the third set, I lost 6-3. I was not happy but it woke me up."
On his 18th birthday, Sinner said: "In New York, organized by Riccardo with his wife. I offered by myself but I am careful with money so i asked everyone to eat less. They could not have wine and they had puncake instead of a cake."
