Italian tennis sensation Jannik Sinner is entering the Australian Open with a fresh perspective and a determined mindset after a breakthrough in the final weeks of the previous season. The young talent had faced challenges in clinching victories against top players like Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev but experienced a turning point with three wins over Medvedev and a notable victory against Djokovic.
Sinner emphasizes the importance of mindset in tennis, stating, “For sure mindset is a key point in our sport. It gives you a good feeling when you lose so many times and then you win finally because it shows also the progress you’re making as a player.” Reflecting on his recent success against Medvedev after six consecutive losses, Sinner acknowledges the mental aspect as a crucial element in his development. “I lost I think six times in a row, then I figured out that I can win against him if I play some good tennis. So, let’s see. I mean, the mental part is really important. You always have to believe in yourself. I think that’s maybe the most important for a tennis player.”
Looking ahead to the Australian Open, Sinner expresses confidence derived from his strong performance at the end of the last season. However, he recognizes the unique challenges of each season and tournament, stating, “Every season is different. Every tournament is different. Honestly, I missed being a little bit out of competition in the last one and a half, two months or so, maybe less. It’s good to be back here, to have a connection with the crowd and everything. Let’s see how it goes.”
As Jannik Sinner aims for success in Grand Slam tournaments, his focus on the mental aspect and belief in himself signals a promising start to the new season, and tennis enthusiasts are eager to see how his evolved mindset translates into on-court performances at the Australian Open.
