The tennis world once again focuses on Jannik Sinner before the ATP Finals 2024. The Italian is the top favorite for a title he narrowly missed last year when defeating Novak Djokovic in the group stage wasn't enough to claim the Masters Cup. This season, however, he arrives fully established as the world number one, setting the standard for others, something that, according to him, hasn't changed him at all. In the Media Day before his debut in Turin, in statements reported by our friends at Ubitennis, the Italian addressed various topics such as the WADA case due to accidental doping, his rivalry with Carlos Alcaraz, and the rapid growth of the tennis world in his country.

- Returning to Turin after last year's final, now as the world number one

"For me, this is a very special tournament; I have worked very hard to be here. Turin is always special, even more so this year. There are many more people involved in the tennis world, and it's great to see that. We try our best to make this beautiful sport grow as much as possible, even in a country that loves football as much as Italy does. This tournament is almost perfect; people come here to see a high level of tennis. It's true that my position has changed in the last twelve months, but I am still the same person."

- The growth of Italian tennis in recent months

"I think since we won the Davis Cup, tennis has grown a lot. I have achieved great results, but we must not forget everything that happened before I arrived, with names like Fognini or Berrettini. Musetti also had a great season, as did Arnaldi and Cobolli. We have a lot of depth, and that's great for the Italian audience. I am happy to be part of this group; the goal will always be to make this sport, which is so beautiful to me, continue to grow."

- On his rivalry with Alcaraz and the possibility of facing him in this tournament

"It's difficult to talk about rivalries when we are still so young. We have each won two Grand Slams this year, but we still have many experiences ahead of us and many things to accomplish. I hope this will be a great tournament, also for the audience, but it's still too early to talk about rivalries."

- The WADA case and the possibility of facing a doping sanction

"Regarding WADA, we still don't know anything. I have been in this position three times already this year. Everything has gone very well so far, although playing with this situation is definitely not optimal."

- Group without Zverev and Alcaraz

"We can never control the draws; I am just happy to play here again after last year, where this was a great tournament for me. Everyone is incredible players; the top eight of the season are here, so each match will be a battle."

- His debut on Sunday night will coincide with Napoli vs Inter. A rivalry with football?

"It shouldn't be a rivalry; it's good that people have the opportunity to choose what they like more. We are happy that tennis continues to grow in Italy; it's impossible to surpass football, but we can say that many kids now choose to play tennis, which we, the players, love. I am happy that some want to watch tennis and others want to watch football."
