Jannik Sinner‘s performance this season has established his image as a top-ranked player in the tennis scene right now. Right from the moment when he started his run for the Australian Open title, he not only created a huge streak of victories but also won millions of hearts with his calm nature and warm smile.

Along with developing the game sense to defeat his opponents, it seems like the young Italian has also decoded strategies of life as well. Recently, he shared insights on the importance of enjoying the game along with living life beyond the court. After his recent R2 victory at the Miami Open, Sinner engaged in conversation with Prakash Amritraj, where he discussed various aspects of his game along with his admiration for compatriot Matteo Berrettini.

What made the conversation even more special was the fact that Sinner decided to give out the philosophy that he came up with while handling the tussles of being a top-ranked player. “He(Berrettini) is enjoying to play tennis. And I think that’s already the biggest win now for all of us when we can go on court and healthy and just play tennis,” Sinner said.

With a maturity beyond his years, Sinner also explained the transient nature of a tennis career. “Tennis is not everything in life for sure. I do whatever it takes to be the best I can. But, you know, it’s, it at some point, you know, it’s going to be finished,” he added.

This perspective sheds light on Sinner’s amazing journey this season, which was marked by remarkable victories at the Australian Open and Rotterdam. Despite a setback at the Indian Wells semi-final where he faced defeat against Carlos Alcaraz, Sinner’s motivation levels still appear to be unharmed.
