Press Conference

J. SINNER/D. Shapovalov

6-3, 6-2

THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.

Q. Jannik, you have to really love the tour life to continue doing it and enjoy most aspects of it, but I'm wondering if there is something about being in professional tennis that you really dislike?

JANNIK SINNER: Dislike?

Q. Yeah.

JANNIK SINNER: Yeah, press conference (smiling), answering always the same questions.

I mean, it's not dislike. It's just part of the job, you know. I like to get out, play, and then live, you know.

But for me, I think we have a beautiful life, you know. We see so many great places. Obviously doing over and over every year, you know, you always go to the same places, so you know already before what kind of places you like a little bit more and some what you like slightly less.

I think we have a very nice, very nice life, very safe life also, in a way, of having great people around. I'm in a position, a very fortunate position, that I can travel with many people also, you know. Here I have a couple of friends, and it helps me so much.

So I don't really have something what I dislike. I think it's more just all around, you know, I'm doing this kind of here, media, I'm not the kind of guy who likes it. You know, I don't want and I don't need to show.

Q. The attention doesn't align with your personality very well?

JANNIK SINNER: Yeah, kind of. For me, I like playing tennis, you know, and I like to spend time with the people I love and also sharing nice moments with the team. This is how I am, you know.

Q. Can I ask about the shot clock, how you find it? Obviously they changed it a couple of years ago. I know Carlos has had issues with it. How do you find it?

JANNIK SINNER: Yeah, I mean, especially after long rallies or depending on where you finished the point, you need at times just rush a little bit.

But it's the rule, you know. For everyone it's the same. At the moment, there are situations where, you know, you get over the shot clock for a couple of seconds, which at times is normal, but yeah, I think I try to stay in the 25 seconds.

You know, I do have my rhythm or my routine before serving, but sometimes I don't do it because I would go over, you know. Yeah, it is what it is.

Q. Would you change anything?

JANNIK SINNER: It's not my decision (smiling)
