The words of Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner spoke at a press conference after reaching his first final at the Us Open: “It was a very physical match, I tried to stay in the match mentally. It was a special occasion against a tough opponent to beat, I am happy to play the final”.

“I am happy to be in the final, whoever I face will be a difficult challenge,” added the South Tyrolean, before finding out that his rival will be Fritz, victorious over Tiafoe -. I am looking forward to the second final of the season. We keep trying to improve and every time we play a final it means we have worked well”.

Fitting comment on physical condition: “The wrist is fine, when you fall on concrete it è not the best but we treated it right away. It è nothing serious. Different match, Draper had not lost any set. He è dropped in the third set. I am happy with how we prepared the match and then handled it. Do I feel the pressure? I feel it and è a privilege. I always give my best in every tournament, but here in New York I have been doing well and playing better and better from match to match. Now I will try to do what I can in the final on Sunday”.

Sinner in the finals

He è did not succeed in the shot put. Not even friend Jack Draper è could stop the march of Jannik Sinner, who è deservedly landed in the final of the U.S. Open being held on the concrete courts of Flushing Meadows.

The Briton, however, tried everything to bar his rival’s way. Jannik, who at times è seemed to have problems with his grip because of the high humidity, in the first set took the lead only at 5-5, going on to win the partial 7-5.

Even more hard-fought was the second partial, which had its epilogue only at the tie-break: the world number 1 managed to change gears immediately and stretch, flying to 4-0, to go on to close on a convincing 7-3.

Sinner has his hands on the match but does not exploit the break ball that would take him to 2-0 in the third set. Jannik makes up for it in the sixth game: break and 4-2. Draper has no choice but to raise the white flag: the set ends 6-2 for the world No. 1.

Nations League, Italy: Giacomo Raspadori knows we need to continue this wayì

Thus, at RAI microphones, Giacomo Raspadori, one of the main architects of Italy&#39s victory in Paris and author of the 3-1 goal in the Nations League match against France, spoke.

“È it was a great victory, achieved against such a team. This è the right way, we needed to make up for it after a bad summer, and this desire was è seen”.

Raspadori then stresses that “the position in which I played today I think is the best for me,” he says, “to help tie up the game and be more close to the midfielders, and so I can, coming from behind, attack the area”.

“One of my main characteristics è to make myself available to my teammates and try to understand the game, and find the right space when the situation calls for it”.
