The world number one continues to excel at Wimbledon 2025. With a victory in three sets over Ben Shelton, Jannik Sinner secured his ticket to the semifinals of the British Grand Slam, proving that he is maintaining a very high level despite the mental blow from the Roland Garros final and despite the doubts about his elbow.
Precisely about these elbow issues, the Italian spoke in the press conference, not wanting to delve too much into detail but being sincere in all his responses about his current situation. Jannik confessed to the media present at Wimbledon that he had no real doubts when it came to competing.
Sinner's elbow
"Yesterday, I played 20 minutes without serving and hitting at 100%, but, on the other hand, I always try to at least get myself in the situation to go out there and give it a try. Today I had very good feelings during warm-up. Yesterday, I also felt that mentally I had to prepare myself. I convinced myself that I would play today, so the concerns about whether I would go out on court or not were not that great. It was just a matter of what my percentage was. Today it was very high, so I am happy."
Approaching big matches
"Sometimes it's also very tough for us to play against this kind of players. Ben is very young, a great server. It's not easy to play against them because you can have opportunities, and then he serves well, and you don't exactly know what to do. When he serves 140 miles out wide, it's also impossible to return. It's also mental. I always say that tennis is a mental game, it's a mixture of experience, getting used to it, and also, of course, the main priority is to improve as a player."
His desire to win Wimbledon
"Your goal is to win tournaments you haven't won, on different surfaces where you haven't triumphed yet, but at the same time, I try to understand what kind of player I am on this surface, what kind of player I am on clay. Looking at how I played on clay last year, and this year I believe I've improved as a player. I hope to do the same on grass, try to understand and believe that I am a better grass court player.
I just try to put myself in these positions, in Grand Slam semifinals. They are incredible opportunities, great chances. I am happy to be back in this position again and see what I can achieve. I haven't won here yet, so I desire it even more. I hope to show good tennis in the next round."
His transformation in recent years
"Many things have changed in these last two years. Before matches, I feel more comfortable, more confident. I know I have to keep working and keep pushing myself because new players are coming. The new generation is growing. Novak is still here and, obviously, Carlos and many other players. The work never stops. I am a different player, a different person. I hope to say that I am also more mature."
