Jannik Sinner, an Italian tennis player, has emerged as one of the top players on the ATP Tour in recent times. His strong baseline play and persistent mentality on the court have been evident to the tennis world since he entered the ATP Tour. Finally speaking, the Italian celebrity has revealed why he keeps aiming for perfection. He disclosed that he is motivated to play the sport for reasons other than winning medals or money.
He has made it into the top 10, won ten ATP titles, and advanced to two Grand Slam quarterfinals and a semifinal in just four years. In 2021, he achieved a career-high ranking of number four and won his first ATP 500 title in Washington, marking his breakthrough season. That being said, Sinner has never placed much emphasis on his accomplishments.
He recently expressed his thoughts in an interview and said: “My goal has never been to become the richest player or to have the most titles. I play tennis because I love this sport. For tennis, I left home at 13. It gives me positive & negative emotions, joys & sorrows. It gives me everything. My concern is not profit, it is never money. If it were, I would always play. I wouldn’t take breaks. On the contrary, I’m interested in eating well, sleeping the right hours, eating at home whenever I can, & being ready on the court the next morning. Ready to improve.”
Sinner further added: “If I don’t play the Masters 1000 in Madrid or the Davis Cup, & I understand that the fans may be upset about it, it’s because I’m in Monte Carlo working my a** off. My goal isn’t to make money. It’s to become the best version of me possible. Number one in the world? Well, we’ll see. Maybe #4 is my limit. I want to find out. And to do that, I have to say no to something, otherwise, the season becomes interminable.”
