He returned as the world number one, but not everyone saw him reaching the final. Jannik Sinner resumed circuit activity this week at the ATP Rome 2025 showing an absolutely overwhelming level on several occasions, especially with that great triumph against Casper Ruud, an opponent who could do little. As the Italian himself admitted, he would have signed reaching the final before the tournament started.

Despite the defeat, the feelings with which Jannik leaves the Italian capital are quite positive. It has been a tournament where he showed that those months of suspension have not had a negative impact on him; rather, he has used them to gather strength and make relevant improvements to seek the next step. Can he get revenge at Roland Garros against Carlos Alcaraz?

Good feelings despite the defeat

"The first set was a turning point. Overall, I am very happy with this tournament. It gives me the confidence to play great tennis in Paris, I hope. We will see what happens in France. After three months, coming here and achieving this result means a lot to me, but also to my team. I am also happy for my family. It's a great lesson for Paris."

What do you take away from your week in Rome?

"It has been an incredible experience. It is always super special to play in Rome, they welcome me as if I were a little kid, the support has been impressive. Of course, there are some things we have seen today that I need to improve if I want to do well in Paris. I am closer than I expected in many aspects. I have had really amazing matches, some that could have been better. That's tennis, many ups and downs. Overall, it has been a very good tournament."

The lack of matches

"The lack of matches affects some decisions. If I could go back in time, I would play a couple of points differently. I lack matches, although there are no excuses. It's how I feel, simply, if I could replay certain exchanges, I would play them in a different way. I have played the maximum number of matches here in Rome. Now I have a week without tournaments, a couple of days to rest mentally and then prepare for an even more important event."

Improvements for Roland Garros

"Last year in Paris, the situation was different. To step up, I have to change small things. Definitely the movement, also understanding where to be sometimes is a bit different between hard court and clay. It was a good test to see where I am on clay, good to play before the Grand Slam against him. We have to improve; it's the surface where I struggle the most, but it's the first tournament, the surface I like the least... Making it to the final is good. I have to increase the intensity in Paris and maintain it for as long as possible," Jannik confessed in Italian, as reported by Ubitennis.
