Jannik Sinner is already strong enough to face a new challenge. The ATP Halle 2025 will be an ideal start to his grass season, where he can gain confidence to tackle Wimbledon, a tournament that has eluded him and one in which he will go all out after the tough blow he received in the Roland Garros final against Carlos Alcaraz. In 2024, it was Daniil Medvedev who spoiled his time at the All England Lawn Tennis Club by eliminating him in five sets, so this year he is determined to improve the outcome and aim for the title.

Before that, Jannik Sinner's journey in the ATP Halle 2025 will begin against a player coming from the qualifying rounds, so he will face a player with a considerably lower ranking than his. Additionally, in order to have an ideal preparation and get into the competition rhythm, he will play the doubles tournament alongside his compatriot Lorenzo Sonego. Sinner explained on Media Day how he has spent the past few days, which have been challenging, and how he is approaching the upcoming weeks.

- A loss he will remember forever

"It was a very tough loss. I still think about those points and it's something that won't stop in the next few days, I know it. I have spent sleepless nights. Nevertheless, I am happy to start a new tournament and I want to get back into match rhythm and see how I react. Regarding the final, you can see both sides: a match where I lost match points or a match where I played as well as I have never played on that surface, and moreover, I was mentally present for five and a half hours. The truth is I am also happy to be part of such a high-level match.

 

 

- New motivations on grass

"I am happy in Halle because this was my first tournament as the world number one, something I will never forget. I am ready to give everything on the court because these days I have been relaxed with my family. I had barbecues and played ping-pong with my friends, very normal things. When I have so much movement in tournaments, I like to return home where I feel safe with my friends, they know me very well. I want to give 100% here and I know the beginning will be tough as we switch surfaces, but I am happy and motivated."

The Italian is defending the Halle title, which he won in 2024 after overcoming Tallon Griekspoor, Fabian Marozsan, Jan-Lennard Struff, Zhizhen Zhang, and Hubert Hurkacz throughout the tournament: "The first training session went well. I hadn't played since Roland Garros, so my sensations were not entirely good, but I will improve. On grass, I believe it's crucial to move well on the court and pay close attention to the ball bounce, besides smart serving. Last year, I took a step forward on grass, and I hope to continue improving."
