Rome, 17 May (LaPresse) – "When I said that the match could change in a second, that's exactly what I meant. He started very well in the first set, I made some tactical mistakes, and in the second set, when he served, he missed two or three balls and that's when I got into the match and the match changed. Every day is different, and today confirms what I said. But these are things you have to accept. I found the right solution, but I know that Sunday will be a different match. To play on equal terms, I have to raise my level. Regardless of Sunday's result, I'm happy with what I've achieved." These were the words of Jannik Sinner at the press conference after securing his place in the final of the Internazionali, coming back to beat American Tommy Paul. ‘For the final, I have to hope that I can put all the pieces together for Sunday. If I can do that, I can play at a good level, but if I can't, I risk coming to a bad end,’ explained the world number one, who concluded: "Alcaraz and I are different players. When we play, the level is very high, but this match is a little different. I'm in a situation I've never experienced before, where I want to see where I am. Matches give you something, both positive and negative, because we are young and we play good tennis. We'll see on Sunday. It's very good for me to play against Alcaraz before the big Slams to understand where I am and where I need to improve."
