Sinner : "I couldn't sleep the night before the final (at Miami in 2021)".
Jannik Sinner was way too strong for Daniil Medvedev in the semi-finals at Miami. The Italian won in 2 sets (6-1, 6-2) and appear unbeatable on Stadium Court. As he said right after the match, he really seems to be another player, probably the best in the World right now.
Jannik Sinner: "I'm another player now, another person. I remember the night before the final (Miami 2021), I coudn't sleep, I sweating during the night (laugh). Now I handdle the situation much, much better. I'm just excited and happy to come back, and hopefully I can play some good tennis Sunday.
For me it's an important tournament. If I can get the title, good, if not I had another great chance. And, for me, it's just a great experience. I will be able to sleep this night."
Well I guess now the only reason he might not get a good nights rest now is when he will face Alcaraz because he seems to have his number. I'm sure Sinner will sleep easy knowing he only has to play Dimitrov in the final. Sure hope Dimitrov continues to play at the level he's been playing recently, but I suspect under the pressure of a Masters 1,000 final he'll revert to his old self and choke and when the pressure is on ... right on cue.
