Jannik Sinner, Wimbledon, Tennis Channel, and the fifth Grand Slam were the main characters of a three-minute interview where the Italian shared some of the most interesting reflections since lifting the trophy at Centre Court. The world number one revealed what changed after Roland Garros, how he managed to raise his level round after round, and the mindset guiding his career.

Sitting at the Tennis Channel's table, the place where all the protagonists have passed since the tournament's first day, Sinner acknowledged that playing a final on Wimbledon's Centre Court remains an experience impossible to normalize. "Before such matches, you feel a lot of nerves, but I like to feel them because I try to turn them into something positive," he explained.

The Italian also analyzed the final against Alexander Zverev, a rival he has dominated in their last ten encounters. He admitted that the first set was "difficult to digest" due to his rival's high level, although he ensured that his goal was to always stay in the present and protect his service games until finding opportunities on the return. He even admitted that in the third set, he had "a bit of luck" in getting the break that ultimately tilted the match.

Jannik Sinner reveals what changed after Roland Garros to conquer Wimbledon

One of the aspects highlighted by Sinner was the evolution experienced during the tournament. He arrived in London without playing any preparatory grass tournaments and knew that the early rounds would be a big mental challenge. The five-set victory in his debut boosted his confidence before significantly raising his level from the quarterfinals onward.

The champion also revealed that after Roland Garros, his team decided to make several changes. For weeks, they worked intensely in Monaco, especially on physical aspects and improving the serve, a shot he considers crucial to the level shown throughout Wimbledon. But the deepest reflection came when discussing his environment. Sinner stated that he increasingly values the importance of surrounding himself with honest individuals capable of pointing out both successes and mistakes. "I'm dedicating my whole life to being the best version of myself. I understood that the competition isn't against anyone else but against myself," he affirmed.

A statement that summarizes the Italian's philosophy and helps explain why, with only five Grand Slams in his record, he is convinced that his greatest rival remains himself.
