In the wake of his Australian Open triumph, Sinner, with a grin, provided a glimpse into the blueprint of his 2024 ambitions. He stated: “We haven’t talked about this yet.” His initial goal, articulated with the cool precision of a seasoned player, was to elevate his performance at the Grand Slam events.
Sui suoi prossimi obiettivi:
"Non abbiamo ancora parlato di questo. Il nostro obiettivo era di giocare meglio gli Slam. L'anno scorso ho fatto la semifinale a Wimbledon, però ce ne sono altri 3. Il primo quest'anno, meglio di così non poteva andare (ride).

In his words: “Last year I made the semi-final at Wimbledon, but there are 3 others. The first this year, it couldn’t have gone better than this. But as I said before, the season doesn’t end here. We worked a lot in preparation, but I really missed the competition.” The subtle reminder of his Wimbledon semi-final last year serves as a prologue to a more extensive narrative yet to unfold. Sinner candidly reflected on the flawless initiation of the season.

He further stated: “When I arrived in Melbourne I started straight away with the Australian Open, I was happy to be there and I felt good.” The Australian Open, he attests, couldn’t have gone better. Yet, in the next breath, he signals a transition from celebration to relentless pursuit. His words were: “Now every tournament I participate in we go hunting, then we see what we can catch. There will be good weeks, others not so good. Now I have more confidence.”
While Sinner is aiming for a great 2024, he announced withdrawal from a tournament soon after his first slam win.
The Australian Open winner has pulled out of next week’s Open 13 Provence in Marseille. Meanwhile, the organizers are already working on a replacement, with the Australian Open semi-finalist as the leading candidate. Alexander Zverev, who lost to Medvedev in the semifinals, has been invited to participate in the competition.

However, it is unclear whether the German star would participate in the event, especially following a great run in the land down under. As of now, Hubert Hurkacz is set to lead the main draw. Sinner’s return will likely come in the ATP 500 event in Rotterdam, where he will aim to collect more points.
