Jannik Sinner completely opens up to unabashedly share the origin of his significant mental improvement, which has propelled him to the top of tennis. Minutes after lifting the trophy at the Six Kings Slam 2024 and adding 6 million dollars to his bank account, the world number one analyzed his major progress while discussing his rivalry with Carlos Alcaraz, who was also present at the exhibition tournament.

A Unique Rivalry with Carlos Alcaraz

"I wake up in the morning trying to figure out how to beat him. This kind of rivalry pushes us to the limit and beyond 100%. The reason we came here was to show everyone what tennis means. Sometimes it can be a long battle like today's, but we give our best. I hope the audience had fun.

Carlos and I understand each other, we travel a lot, and we are good friends. We enjoy sharing the court every time we face off and try to have as much fun as possible. Every match between us is very good. I hope this rivalry lasts as long as possible, but there are many other players who can take over. Let's see what the future holds," said Jannik Sinner after becoming the champion of the Six Kings Slam 2024.

The Six Kings Slam 2024 Final

"It's a new experience, these have been incredible days. I've fought hard trying to understand the right way, been a bit more in control of the exchanges, and that has been one of the keys. I missed some easy shots in the first set to recover again, but in the end, you can win or lose. I've learned a lot from this match, and I hope this occasion helps me in the future."

His Mental Aspect

"I won't say it's due to experience because I'm still very young. I've learned and accepted who I am. I made big mistakes in the past, for example, the match against Altmaier at Roland Garros (2023), I wasn't mentally prepared. From that moment on, I started working on myself, trying to accept and work even when you're tired during training sessions, when you feel like you can't go on but you have to continue to become the best version of yourself. Yesterday, I had challenging moments against Novak that I can improve, I felt really tired at times. There are also a couple of things today that can get better, but I feel like I've taken a step forward and hope that's the case for the coming months and years because it's a long-term job."

A Memorable Year

"Whatever happens, this season has been incredible, many successes, different moments also off the court that I'm still dealing with. This shows that I can step onto the court and forget about everything else, to play the best tennis I can. It's been a great year and it's not over yet. Soon, one of the most important tournaments for me as an Italian is coming up, playing in Turin at the ATP Finals, and then the Davis Cup with Italy."
