A practically perfect course. That's what Jannik Sinner aims to achieve by winning the US Open 2025, for which he appears to be the main favorite. The Italian is aware that there is no room for relaxation and addressed very interesting matters in the press conference after his debut.
The Czech Kopriva was no match for a player who is far above most of his peers and who conveys a level of reliability and consistency against opponents of lesser caliber than his in a way that few have done in the history of this sport. Jannik Sinner started the US Open 2025 strongly, but he is aware that challenges lie ahead in the second round, with the Australian Alexei Popyrin being his next opponent. His reflections in the press conference deserve attention.

"I feel in very good physical shape, I have been able to train well in the last two days, and I am still trying to improve in all aspects of my game. I am trying to be more agile and quick in my movements to hit the ball better supported," commented the Italian before recalling his success last year in New York. "It took me some time to get used to the conditions, I faced the tournament in a very different emotional state from the current one, but I know that everything can change quickly, and it is very different to play here during the day and at night, for example," he said.

"The feelings I had that day were that we were getting to know each other clearly and that we would have many more encounters in the future. It was like any other match before stepping onto the court; we both tried to give our best, but now our matches have turned into real battles that require physical, mental, and tactical preparation time. We are making adjustments based on what the other proposes. But yes, that match was decisive in our rivalry, even though we were very young," he explained.

"We are truly privileged. I don't think our lives should be difficult because I love playing tennis and traveling, so I consider myself fortunate. We have to present a good image because we are role models for many children; I remember myself watching many matches on TV. It is clear that in all jobs, there are positives and negatives, and the same goes here, but nothing that makes this life difficult," he asserted.
"Throughout my career, I have been learning to better manage the time between matches in Grand Slams. I used to train for two hours on my days off, now I prioritize resting and regaining energy. We all make adjustments regarding where we do physiotherapy, when we come to the club, etc. I am still learning to manage these things, I am not perfect," said Jannik Sinner who will try to continue his path in the US Open 2025.
