Jannik Sinner was defeated earlier than expected at the ATP Masters 1000 Montreal 2024, falling in the quarterfinals against Andrey Rublev. His explanations about the factors that have influenced this disappointing result deserve attention as he warns of the possibility that he may not arrive in top form in Cincinnati.
What seemed to be a smooth path has turned into a path with insurmountable obstacles. Jannik Sinner appeared at the press conference of the ATP Masters 1000 Montreal 2024 visibly affected by his defeat against Andrey Rublev in the quarterfinals, something that prevents him from confirming his favoritism in the Canadian event and already makes him think about future challenges. His words were not reassuring and generate a sense of uncertainty regarding his chances of success in Cincinnati, and even in the US Open 2024.
"These things can happen. I didn't start well, improved in the second set, and had it there in the third, but I wasted opportunities and then couldn't react. He played well and deserved to win," commented a Sinner who attributed his poor performance to the physical and mental fatigue that playing two matches on the same day entailed for him. "It's not something we are used to. When you're tired, you can't waste opportunities like I did at the beginning of the third set," he said.
- Sinner admits he's not in a good mental state, explaining his loss to Rublev in Montreal.
Jannik could have taken the lead at the start of the deciding set, but he made uncharacteristic mistakes he couldn't recover from. "The confidence level changed a lot after that moment. It must be accepted and assumed that this is not a bad result for me coming from where I was. Andrey was better than me at crucial moments," he stated before openly addressing what the problem was and when he thought it would be resolved.
"Physically, I'm not bad. I believe defeats like today's are more related to the mental aspect. My body is not as agile as I would like due to the issue that prevented me from playing in Paris, but I haven't been comfortable mentally either. I hope to be in shape again as soon as possible. I don't expect miracles in the next five days. I assume I won't be able to play at 100% in Cincinnati, but I do intend to arrive at my best for the US Open 2024, which is my main goal," declared a Jannik Sinner whose performance could be related to a rumored breakup with Anna Kalinskaya.
