After winning his maiden grasscourt title in Halle on Sunday, Jannik Sinner is ready to challenge for the Wimbledon tournament. The Italian claimed he feels more assured on the court as the Grand Slam gets underway next week.
After defeating doubles partner Hubert Hurkacz 7-6(8) 7-6(2) in Germany, the 22-year-old became the eighth player since the ATP rankings were first released in 1973 to win his first tournament as the world’s number one.
Sinner looked more confident after the win and said: “I’m looking forward to it (Wimbledon). Last year I made the semi-finals, and I played some good tennis. Let’s see what’s coming this year. I’m more confident for sure. And on this surface, the grass might be a bit different from here and Wimbledon. But I have one week now to prepare for it, so hopefully it’s going to be a good tournament.”
