Sinner drops a telling phrase: "It's better to win poorly than to lose well"
A few days before a decisive Asian tour, Jannik Sinner gave an interview to Explora Journeys. While the Italian is often perceived as cold, robotic, or ultra-focused, this informal conversation reveals a completely different side of the world number 2.
"I hate losing. It's better to win poorly than to lose well," Sinner states, with a straightforward look and a calm tone.
This phrase actually sums up the mental intensity of the player from San Candido. But the Italian doesn't stop at his will to win. He also reveals himself in more personal details. Sunset over sunrise, pool over spa, treadmill to stay in shape… Simple choices that reveal a structured, disciplined personality, but also one attentive to his well-being.
He even admits that playing on a secondary court can sometimes bring him more calm and confidence than a central court: "Annex courts can offer a different kind of tranquility. Less pressure, more mental space."
