Sinner: "Tennis is all about good pressure".
Jannik Sinner returns to competition this week in Rotterdam, two weeks after his Australian Open title. An opportunity for the Italian to talk about his relationship with pressure.
Sinner : "Sometimes I play doubles because you feel more pressure on serve at 40-40, than making 10 serves in the practice sessions. You have to handle this kind of situation on court.
I play good in the practice sessions, but I never play like I play in a match. Because in the match, I feel like that there is more competition and I love to compete. I like this fair play. Fair play, but also when you go against each other.
In tennis, I think that we have a very positive pressure. Because nothing can really happen. You can just lose the point. If you're a doctor for example and you have to make surgery to someone else, you have a different kind of pressure because you have a life in your hands. So tennis is just good pressure and it's healthy."
