The wait is almost finished. A few more hours, a few days and Jannik Sinner will return to the field after the suspension agreed with Wada for the Clostebol case. The frame of Rome is perfect for the return of number 1 to the world that will welcome it to have thousands of fans and the eyes of the world world: «It’s such a special tournament for me. I certainly return with a slightly different mentality, “admitted the boy from Sesto Pusteria. A face to face that the state TV aired immediately after the news: a sign of the relief that Italy gives to its champion. Sinner opened, telling these three months away from tennis played but also the period before the disqualification and also the discouragement when, says “I thought of giving up everything”. “On the field I don’t feel like a player should feel – he says blue in this regard – we train so much to have fun when we play a beautiful game. This fun, day after day, for me it went away because I thought about other things”. Upon returning “now there is so much, see you in Rome – says the n.1 of world tennis -. We hope to be quite prepared but I am very happy to make my return to Rome, For his triumph they are tall. Sinner remembers his most beautiful moments: «When I learned that he had become the number 1 in the world because it was not only the result but the fruit of a year of work. Another crazy moment is when you enter the central in Rome or Turin, it does not seem to be in a tennis court. It seems to be in a football stage ».
Then there was the Clostebol case, its discovery. “At that moment I just didn’t understand what happened. I didn’t know anything and they had to explain to me. Then I accepted because I couldn’t do more than accepting. I struggled to accept these three months, because I hadn’t done anything in my head. As I felt on the field it was not as a player should be heard. We train to have fun on the pitch. The luck is that I had people around me who helped me a lot. I built my bubble where no one else entered. And this helped us ». And there was no lack of severe judgments like “those of Djokovic or Pellegrini” on an alleged favoritism: “I don’t even want to answer. Everyone is free to say what they want, he can judge and it’s okay. For me the important thing is that I know what happened.” And he also replies to the criticisms about the residence in Monaco. “I honestly I am very well here. I feel at home. If I was not here, I would not know where to go: Incredible gyms, the climate is excellent and then there are many players with whom you can train ».
Finally the revelation: “Ever thought of giving up? Yes … it was a moment not very happy and at the end of the year I said: “It passed this year see how it goes”. In Australia I didn’t feel comfortable even in the room where athletes eat. Some players looked at me differently. And I didn’t like it. I was always one who jokes. I don’t feel comfortable. A reason why I didn’t play Rotterdam was that. Yes, there was rest, the physical condition but I needed some different time with friends, putting people who love first. ” The blue tennis player in an interview on the Intesa Sanpaolo group website talks about his life outside the field: “So many renunciations like going out in the evening, doing some more sluts, going to the sea – he explains – but I am 23 years old. I did many things to be in this position and I don’t want to throw everything away ». Sinner is now an international star. Advertising, charitable activities around the world. Now also its foundation announced just yesterday. His private life also makes news. According to gossip, his new girlfriend is the Russian model Lara Reado.
