Jannik Sinner arrived in Vienna with the mission of earning points for the Ranking and to get his end of the season back on track, with Paris and the ATP Finals marked in red on his calendar. Despite some minor physical issues towards the end, the Italian's week has been very positive, and he leaves with the title in hand after a thrilling final.

Because, after a rough start where Alexander Zverev claimed the first set against a Jannik Sinner who seemed to be struggling with some setbacks, he gradually grew into the match and always stayed in contention despite Sascha's strong serving. This was highlighted by the San Candido-born player in a press conference, as reported by Ubitennis.

Sinner clinches victory in Vienna after a comeback against Zverev

During the press conference, the Italian detailed how his shot variation has been working, something he has been adding since the US Open final. He also addressed those physical problems he faced in the final set, considering if it could affect him heading into Paris, where he will debut in just a few days.

Feelings after the win

In my first serving game, I had a break point. In the next one, I went up 0-30, but couldn't break him. Starts are never easy. Then, in the second and third sets, I sought to find the right solutions in crucial moments. I'm very happy to bring the trophy home. Vienna is always special to me. Now, my priority is to recover fully for Paris.

Significance of this victory

Every title has its own meaning, and this tournament is very close to my home. Many people can drive here to watch me play. I even saw my first tennis and skiing coaches in attendance. It's great to have been able to win in front of them.

Coming directly here from the Six Kings Slam

It's challenging to perform well right after arriving from another location. I believe I managed it here. We tried to manage our energy in the best possible way. Mentally, I've been very strong all week. I think that's the most important aspect.

Sinner displays some physical issues

I experienced cramps towards the end due to all the pressure, but they were minimal, I understand. I learned how to handle them, following what happened to me in Shanghai, where I faced a similar situation. Overall, it wasn't a very intense match. I served very well, which gave me a lot of energy. I felt good in the end, although I was a bit tired after such an intense week.

Jannik has been introducing variations to his game

We're trying to add more variety. For example, the sliced backhand is something I need to work on more because I have to be thoughtful in its usage, but it's crucial as it can give me a lot of room in my game. Drop shots worked well today. Playing against Zverev is tough because he hits deep, but the slice will be an important shot to add to my game in the future.

Battling Zverev in their recent matches

It wasn't the same energy as in a Grand Slam final where there's more pressure, but nonetheless, it's always important not to fall behind in the head-to-head. I always try to keep it positive. There are players where I'm trailing, and I need to turn it around. Learn as much as possible from such matches, but the Vienna court is not like Turin's, for example.

Why Vienna and not Basel

They treat me very well here. I know everyone. Vienna was one of the tournaments that gave me a wildcard to come and play here in my early days. I'll probably choose to come to Vienna ahead of Basel. It's about 99% certain.
