Let’s hear from Jannik Sinner, after coming through that match against compatriot Matteo Berrettini:
On
winning the match:
“For
sure we are very good friends, We play Davis Cup together, sometimes we
practice together. It’s very tough we had to face each other in the second
round.
“Today
was a high level match and we both played very well. Three tie-breaks – sometimes
I got very lucky and I want to thank everyone. It’s quite late so thanks for
staying.”
Where do you feel your level is at because that was fitting of a semi-final or final?
“I
spoke with the team a lot. I know I had to raise my level a lot if I played against
him. He played the final here and is a grass court specialist.
“Very
happy with how I handled the situation. I can be happy and let’s see what’s coming
in the next round.”
How special is it to play here as the world number one?
“For
me a big honour to play in such an incredible venue and today I had my first
match on Centre Court which is very special. The support has been amazing and hope to see
you all in the next round, Have a good night.”
