Although retired, Andrea Petkovic continues to follow professional tennis very closely. In remarks relayed by We Love Tennis, she spoke about Jannik Sinner's season and his mental strength.
She states: "Despite a three-month absence, Sinner almost ended the year as world number one, which is simply incredible. His team supported him during his suspension: he was only allowed to train individually, and never with active players, and only in official clubs.
