7 consecutive wins, humidity, fatigue: Jannik Sinner opens up after his debut in Shanghai
Barely time to savor his title in Beijing before the Italian phenomenon is already back in action in Shanghai.
Facing Germany's Daniel Altmaier, Sinner secured his 7th consecutive victory in Shanghai (6-3, 6-3), not without difficulty, under physical conditions he himself describes as "very difficult."
"I knew before the match that it would be very difficult. I didn't have much time to adapt here. That makes the victory even more special, doesn't it? There's much more humidity here. You feel the physical fatigue much more.
You have to use all the energy in your body to get through it. I'm very, very happy to be back. I have very good memories here. Let's see what the future holds," he told ATP media.
For a spot in the round of 16, he will face Tallon Griekspoor (31st). The Italian will approach this matchup with confidence as he remains undefeated against the Dutchman (6-0).
