It has been less than a month since the Italian conquered Wimbledon 2025 with an exciting final against Carlos Alcaraz. Three weeks later, after a short vacation period, Jannik Sinner, like others, resumes activity on the circuit at ATP Cincinnati 2025, where he defends his title.

Expectations are high for the world number one, who seeks to continue his good streak in the American tour, where he won both Cincinnati and New York at the US Open last year. Before the tournament begins, Sinner talked about his feelings on Media Day.

Still having elbow issues?

"The elbow is fine. Today was the first time I wore a sleeve because I liked the feeling it gave me. It gives a bit more impact with the ball, slightly more stability. That's my opinion, and I liked it at Wimbledon. I have to see how it is when it's very hot and humid because it's a bit different, so that's something I'll take into account, but I love the feeling it gives when hitting," Jannik Sinner confessed, as reported on the official ATP page.

The return after Roland Garros and Wimbledon

"This time was very different too because what I had experienced before in the previous Grand Slam, at Roland Garros, what happened there and coming back and showing this level at some moments also surprised me. Obviously, I'm very happy. I took some time off to see my family, friends, and very important people. After that, I returned to training, trying to be as prepared as possible for this tour, which is also very important."

His new adventure as a YouTuber

"People only know us as tennis players, they don't really know how we live. Each player is different in terms of how we experience sports and, in this case, tennis. People know me as someone very serious on the court, but it's not really like that. I like to surround myself with good people and enjoy my time, also with my family in Wimbledon, it was very nice. We're going to post different types of videos of what we did during the three months when I couldn't play any tournaments. I hope people enjoy them and get to know me better as a person."
