Jannik Sinner is about to play the Miami Open final in a tournament that was orphan of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. This was a great opportunity for up-and-coming players and Jannik didn’t miss the chance. When asked about the absence of the big3 the Italian commented:
“Well, you know, we knew that many players are not coming here, especially the big three. Dominic Thiem was not coming. You know, we approached this tournament, you know, to go very, very far.
It’s a little bit different this tournament to don’t see big names or the biggest names. You know, it’s a little bit different. We came here I think with the right mentality, with the right mindset. We always go to every tournament to win, trying to win as many matches as possible.”
Jannik Sinner will come up against the world no.37 Hubert Hurkacz in the final on Sunday at 1 pm on Grandstand. They have never played each other up to now on the main tour.
