Jannik Sinner returned to the circuit at ATP Rome 2025 and is already in the round of 16. The Italian, world number one, is aiming to defend his trophy at the Masters 1000, where he is the local favorite. After overcoming his first two matches, Jannik is aware that he will need to raise his level on the court to avoid problems in the fourth round, where he will face Fran Cerúndolo.

The unconditional support from Draper and... Others?

"Jack and I have known each other for a long time. We got to know each other better now, when he reached the level we are at. All the players know how strong he was, the potential he had, and now he is showing it. He is one of the best players, perhaps the most consistent we have throughout this season. He keeps showing up every day. We have a great friendship because we are very similar as people. We are humble. We try to do our best on the court. Off the court, we are very simple people.

His support meant a lot to me, as did that of other players. I am very grateful to all those who supported me during this time. Yes, it was very good for me. It was positive energy. It was good to train with him in Monaco a couple of weeks ago. I have always been his biggest fan. When I can't play or when he is still in the tournament, I always wish him the best," said the Italian in a press conference.

How is your return in terms of physical condition?

"Physically, the first match went well. I recovered quite well. Obviously, the matches are a bit different. The impact they have on our bodies is different from training. I started very well today, then had a dip, usually lasting a game and a half. Today it was three games, three and a half, but it's normal. It's the second match I play in three and a half months. That's a lot of time.

Every opportunity I have to play another match is very positive. Being able to play the third match is already very, very good for me and my progress. Then we'll see what comes next. I know I have to raise my level tomorrow. Let's see what happens. I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be a good test."
