Follow usJannik Sinner spoke to Corriere della Sera as he shared that he feels blessed to be a tennis player and that he misses Roger Federer on tour.
“The pressure on me (as a player) is nothing compared to that on a surgeon or a guy who has to provide dinner for his family,” Sinner said. “It’s a real pressure – not knowing if a rocket is going to hit your house in five hours or five days. Playing tennis is something you have to feel blessed about.”
“Tennis brings me happiness, but it’s normal to have doubts. It’s a privilege because it’s not for everyone; it’s wonderful to be part of the small group of players who have to deal with it.”
“I’ve been lucky in my life, but I miss Federer. I accept it – it’s part of the game. Official matches are no longer possible, maybe in the future we will face each other in an exhibition match. However, I wouldn’t change anything: happy I am a tennis player from this era. The new generation offers different styles, characters and personalities,” added the Italian.
