“I try to stay focused on my work”
In conference, Sinner explained how he experienced this complicated period. “First of all, this is not a situation I would like to find myself in, it is very delicate, difficult and also different. The only thing I know is that I try to repeat to myself that I didn’t do anything wrong, which already puts you in an advantageous position. Of course, I had sleepless nights during this time and now again it won’t be easy. I’m disappointed to find myself in this situation again, but I try to stay focused on my work and do my best to be ready for every match. But yes, it’s a difficult time for me and also for my team. It’s not just me who is alone in this situation, but also my team. I stay close to people I’m comfortable with and who know me as a person.“
