Jannik Sinner’s goal is to return to the court at the Australian Open. He confirms this during the «Be Like Sinner» event at the Allianz Tower, in Milan: «I hope to do some tournaments first but I have to respect the protocols to avoid more important problems. It’s important to take care of my body, I want to play for another 10-15 years. I have the best doctors by my side, I have to accept the program they give me, it’s the only option there is. We are doing everything to protect my career in the long term. You need patience, it’s the best weapon.” Sinner is not fatalistic about his injury: «It went the way it went, we are looking for a way out, I will see tennis in another, more positive way. Before it all seemed natural, traveling the world and winning tournaments. Now I’m appreciating what I was able to do. The desire to win is even higher, lifting trophies will be even better. I’ll enjoy it a little more.”
Sinner has not played since the Wimbledon final in July due to a knee injury. A possible return for the Italian at the end of December at the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, in «this difficult period I am at home and play on the simulator all day, then I go to the gym and then I get back on the simulator. I have always said that in the future you will see me in a racing car (he said smiling, ed.): it is the first time that I am not in control, a strange thing, a feeling that I don’t like even if I spend more time with my family and my friends”.
