After winning the Miami Open, the conversation between Prakash Amritraj from the Tennis Channel and Jannik Sinner presents a confident yet calm personality of Sinner aiming for the Olympics. “Last year and end of the year, we were talking more about the Olympics because the Olympics are one every four years. So let’s see what’s, what’s coming there, I mean, we as I said, I said in the beginning of the year, we tried to hunt and that what we can catch, we get and then there are some good weeks until now, they are only good weeks. And if not, you know, there are new opportunities. So it’s let’s see. I mean, I don’t want to rush myself,” he said.
However, Sinner’s previous interview after the Australian Open 2024 shows that it’s been a while since he has been eyeing the Olympics. During an interview after his winning at the Australian Open 2024, he opened up about his thoughts on the same. While asked whether he would be the flag-bearer for his country at the Olympic Games in Paris, he said, “I don’t think about being the flag bearer at the Olympics. The Games will be a key moment in my career, it will be the first time I will participate. There are all the best athletes in the world, who I can’t wait to meet and from whom I want to take inspiration.”
Sinner’s confidence is justified as he presented a beautiful performance at the finals of the Miami Open. Given that Dimitrov is a senior ATP Pro than Sinner in their professional careers, the Italian tennis star showed incredible aggression and much brilliance on the court.
