Sinner: "What changes when you're No. 1?
Jannik Sinner claimed his 5th career title this season, defeating Frances Tiafoe 7-6, 6-2 in the Cincinatti final.
Confirming his status as number 1 in the world, the Transalpine doesn't seem to be really affected by the pressure usually felt by a player when he reaches the top of the world hierarchy.
With a very relaxed air, the 23-year-old prodigy declared: "What changes when you're No. 1 is that there's extra pressure around you.
But I don't feel any obligation to prove anything to anyone.
On the other hand, at every training session, I remain aware of what I have to work on, because I know that there are a lot of players who pose me problems.
Every morning, I get up wanting to be better, wanting to find solutions to those who get in my way on the court."
