To be the best at something, it is important to feel total devotion for what you do, and that of Jannik Sinner is beyond doubt. It is not the first time that the Italian has referred to this sport in emotional terms, but his words at the press conference of the Australian Open 2026 did not leave anyone indifferent due to the enormous amount of love for this sport professed by the San Candido native.

With his usual confidence and the characteristic determination of great champions, Jannik Sinner resolved his second-round match at the Australian Open 2026 against Australian James Duckworth and continues to send clear signals of his strong favoritism for the title in this first Grand Slam of the season. There is always anticipation to hear the reflections of the Italian in a press conference, and this time, he did not leave anyone indifferent with his words.

Sinner explains in Australia what it means to him to be a professional tennis player

"Every match is different from each other, and it is necessary to adapt to the conditions at hand. Today, for example, it was less hot than usual and quite windy. I tried to stay true to my style of play, and the truth is that I am very satisfied with my level," said Jannik, before delving into his performance with the serve. "It is something I need to continue improving. I must know when to take more risks or when to aim for a higher percentage of first serves. I am in the middle of a process that I want to lead me to be a much more efficient server," he asserted.

Asked about his relationship with tennis, Jannik Sinner was decisive in his words. "I can say that, at 24 years old, I feel that the best thing I have done in life is to have dedicated myself to professional tennis. It offers incredible life opportunities, such as meeting interesting people, discovering different places and cultures. Everything has its disadvantages, but what this sport brings to my personal life is spectacular," he said before going further.

"Tennis for me is the reason I wake up every morning; it provides me a routine to get better every day. For example, what Djokovic and Wawrinka are doing, extending their careers for so long, serves as a great inspiration for me. It seems surreal to keep playing at their age with that level; we'll see how far I can go," concluded Jannik Sinner, already thinking about his opponent in the third round of the Australian Open 2026, the American Eliot Spizzirri.
