Tennis - Wimbledon 2024 - Jannik Sinner : "My coach told me 'be kind to the grass and something positive will happen'"
Jannik Sinner a respecté son rang avec autorité vendredi soir, sur le Centre Court de Wimbledon. Le roi de l'ATP, titré à Halle, s'est rassuré en obtenant sa 8e victoire de suite contre le Serbe Miomir Kecmanovic (6-1, 6-4, 6-2). Pas épargné au tirage, le Transalpin avait dû affronter son dangereux compatriote Matteo Berrettini, finaliste en 2021, dès le deuxième tour. Face à son ami, il avait lâché sa deuxième manche de la quinzaine. Il défiera Denis Shapovalov ou Ben Shelton (n°14) en huitième

00:00Jannik, good to get that win under your belt today, good to get finished, how are you feeling?
00:09Yeah, I feel happy obviously. It has been a very long day, so I'm very happy to start first the match and obviously also to finish.
00:20Straight sets and I'm very happy about that. I felt much better on court today, so I'm happy about the performance.
00:28Jannik here from Quality Shots, congrats on the win today. So tomorrow you're still yet to see who you're playing in the next round.
00:34Do you look at the matches, are you going to be watching the match or do you let your team deal with that and you focus more on your own game and your practice for yourself?
00:41I think a little bit of both. I also like to watch the match and to visualise also a little bit.
00:49But it's different because they're two leftists playing against, so it's a little bit different.
00:55But the big thing obviously my team makes and they talk to me about the key things.
01:03But for sure I'm going to watch a little bit, it's good for me.
01:08Speaking of your team, when you're in such an event like this or even other bigger events,
01:13are you looking to add new aspects or new weapons to your game in the middle of events or do you leave that for the off-season or weeks in between?
01:20No, for sure. We keep working because it's not only about this event but it's also about the future events.
01:30Obviously we do a lot in the practice sessions.
01:34If the match goes a little bit easier, I might try it out also in the match.
01:40But if you don't feel comfortable doing it in the practice sessions, it's impossible to make it in the match.
01:48So we are working on improving. I do a lot of gym also to get physically stronger, so we try to build.
01:57Any further questions in English?
02:05You played Matteo the other night and that was a late night match.
02:08How difficult was it waiting around to come on court?
02:12How difficult was?
02:14Was it waiting to come on court, to be the last to come on court, especially after two big matches with Carlos?
02:20It's obviously a long time to wait but it's obviously a huge honour and a big honour to play on this court.
02:28You can wait. The first match was very long with Carlos.
02:34That was a good match from the women's side and I was excited to step on court.
02:40You never have to take these courts guaranteed.
02:46It's obviously a huge pleasure for me to play there and it was fun.
02:52Did you watch any of Carlos' matches because at one point he was maybe in trouble?
03:01Yeah, I watched a little bit of the match.
03:06It was a very good match, high level.
03:09He raised the level in the tie-break in the fourth and then he played a couple of points better in the fifth and the match is over.
03:19It was a great match, an entertaining match to watch so I was watching quite a lot.
