Milan, 11 July (LaPresse) – ‘It's incredible, I still can't believe it. It was the tournament I used to watch on TV as a kid and I never imagined I would play in the final. It's incredible, but I know how much work my team and I put into it. It's great to achieve this result in front of my dad and my brother, as well as in front of this crowd.’ This was Jannik Sinner's comment after his victory over Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon semi-final. ‘I served really well today, I felt great. Then in the third set, I think he wasn't feeling well, he was in a difficult situation, but I tried to stay calm and play my best. I did it, I'm very happy and now we'll see what happens in the final,’ he added. Only five players have played in all the Grand Slam finals at least once in their careers: Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Sinner. "It's incredible, I'm in good company. It shows that I'm growing on all surfaces, it's important to keep working. Five years ago, I struggled a lot on these courts, but now it's much better. My team and I try to improve every day, and it's very important for me to have achieved these results, but it's equally important to keep working. It's wonderful,‘ he added. On Sunday, he will face Alcaraz again in the final. ’What can we expect? Given the last final, I don't know. It's a great honour for me to share the court with Carlos, we try to push each other to the limit. He's one of my role models, let's hope it's a good match. I don't know if we can do better than in Paris, but I'm sure we'll both try our best for ourselves and for you," concluded Sinner.
