Jannik Sinner is on the cover of l’Equipe Magazine this Saturday, which is quite logical. On the other hand, we are surprised that the proposed interview dates from March even though since that date, the Italian’s career has changed a little. It remains that there are certain important passages which allow us to understand the personality of this young man who remains a little apart.
« It’s true that at the beginning it wasn’t easy. I was a little different from the others, whether on or off the court, rather withdrawn. Where I come from, people go to bed early. While most Italians stay up very late. Lots of things like that. When I went to the south of Italy to train, I learned the “Italian style”. But I never tried to change to please anyone, I did what I was most comfortable with. I’m constantly trying to learn what works best for me, for my body and for the people around me. I am what I am. If people like the way I look, great. If not so be it. Obviously, it’s different if people around me tell me that this or that isn’t working. There, I will try to understand and adapt. But I won’t change for strangers who criticize me.”
