Ambition to improve, desire for redemption, and an impeccable work ethic. That's what Jannik Sinner projects on and off the court, as he showcased in his statements during the press conference prior to the start of the ATP 500 Beijing 2025. The Italian acknowledged being in the process of making changes in his tennis following his defeat to Alcaraz in the US Open.

A paradigm shift for Jannik Sinner and an unbeatable attitude to face it. It's never pleasant to be displaced from the world number 1 spot and lose a Grand Slam final, but the Italian seems to have accepted that the only response to that is to step out of his comfort zone, take risks, and seek solutions. Aware that the ATP 500 Beijing 2025 could be a good testing ground for these changes, he reflected in the press conference on what he expects from these upcoming days in the Chinese city and what his rivalry with Carlos Alcaraz means to him.

"It's great to compete again; I feel that my body and mind are in top form after the break I was able to take following the US Open. I'm eager to compete here in China, and I will try to adapt as best as possible," stated a man with two titles under his belt who should enter this final stretch of the year with more freshness than his rivals, having been three months without competing due to a sanction that has significantly affected his season.

When asked about it, the Italian is emphatic. "Everything I've had to go through this year hasn't been easy. I've been able to play very few tournaments; this is the eighth one I'm playing all year, and the season is already in its final stretch. But I'm very motivated because my team and I decided to focus on working on new things after what happened in New York," recognized a Sinner who emphasizes how important it is for him to adjust aspects of his tennis to compete with more guarantees against Alcaraz.

"We've thought a lot about the US Open final and decided to change small details of my tennis that we are working on now. It's normal that I may make more mistakes than usual in the next matches, but it's just a matter of time for things to work out. I feel good in training with those changes; it remains to be seen how long it takes for me to transfer it to competition. I'm very motivated to work on new things," concluded a Jannik Sinner who will seek the title at the ATP 500 Beijing 2025.
