Jannik Sinner is already at Wimbledon. The reigning champion appeared this Saturday at the traditional Media Day of the All England Club, although his time in the press room was much briefer than usual: he only answered four questions. However, those few answers were enough to convey a clear message.

The Italian arrives convinced that he has made the most of the two weeks of preparation since his unexpected elimination at Roland Garros and is confident that this work will allow him to defend the title he won a year ago with guarantees. The main concern around the world number one was his physical condition. After the problems in Paris, where the heat and wear and tear affected his performance, Sinner explained that the focus of these weeks has been very specific. "We have done longer and uninterrupted training sessions," he pointed out, making it clear that the objective has been to raise the physical demands to arrive prepared for the best-of-five-set matches. A different planning from the usual, focused on accumulating workload and improving endurance.

The Italian also reassured about his feelings. He stated that the recent training sessions have been positive and that the extra time he has had after falling earlier than expected at Roland Garros has allowed him to regain energy and work on aspects that during such a demanding season are usually overshadowed. This preparation has included training in London and an exhibition match before the start of the tournament. 

Although he avoided making grand statements about his goals, Sinner hinted that he arrives with confidence. Defending a Grand Slam is never easy, but the Italian believes he has done everything necessary to present himself in the best possible conditions. He did not want to engage in comparisons with other favorites or assess the draw, preferring to focus solely on his own tennis.

The context is also significant. Twelve months ago, he lifted his first Wimbledon trophy after defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the final, becoming the first Italian champion of the tournament. In this edition, he also faces the challenge as the defending champion and the main reference in the men's circuit, especially with Alcaraz's absence due to injury. 

Physical work to dispel doubts about his form

Sinner's few answers conveyed a simple yet strong message: the priority has been to prepare the body to withstand the demands of Wimbledon. The longer and continuous training sessions, without interruptions, reflect the intention to prevent a recurrence of the physical problems experienced in Paris. Now, with those positive feelings and the confidence of someone who knows what it is to win on the London grass, the Italian begins the defense of a title that will shape much of the tournament narrative.
