Sinner explains why he is so strong indoors: "It suits my game better"
Jannik Sinner, world number two, points out the reasons why he excels on indoor hard courts, in addition to discussing a potential matchup with Alcaraz.
Another victory for Jannik Sinner who aims to end his season on a high note. The Italian player, currently ranked number two in the world, defeated Alex De Miñaur in two sets in the semifinals of the ATP Finals 2025, securing his spot in the grand final of the tournament held in Turin.
Although he had to endure a tightly contested first set that was decided on the brink of a tiebreak, Jannik Sinner demonstrated once again that he maintains a high level which is very difficult to beat. Just minutes after his recent victory, the Italian player attended a press conference to share his feelings regarding the upcoming decisive match.
"I had some break opportunities in the first game, in fact, I had break chances throughout the set. He was playing really excellent tennis. With the score at 5-5, I managed to break, which gave me the confidence to elevate my level and hit the ball with more power from the baseline.
I felt that the start of the second set was also crucial. When you begin with an immediate break advantage, it's a bit easier to serve and move the ball around. He played unbelievably well today, so I had to be very cautious."
Jannik Sinner and a potential rematch against Carlos Alcaraz
"Every match is different. We saw that in Rome and Paris. Even on the same surface, everything can change. I'm very happy to finish the season here, another final. It's been an incredible year for me, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. These are matches that excite me. They also help me evaluate my real level, but at the same time, it's great to have this match before the season break.
He still has a pending match against Felix. I played against him earlier this week, and he's a very tough opponent. He loves playing indoors, we'll see who comes out on top."
Jannik Sinner and his indoor key
"I still feel that between Vienna, Paris, and here, there are three different scenarios due to the courts and their size. Everything is a bit different. At the same time, you don't have to deal with wind, sun, or many other things. I feel very comfortable. Moreover, I believe it suits my game better, as I play quite flat and have a good rhythm, which gives me the confidence to keep seeking shots and change direction more easily, that's what makes me feel comfortable in indoor tennis."
