Jannik Sinner
Having clinched his maiden Masters 1000 title at last year’s Canadian Open, Jannik Sinner will aim for a successful title defense on his comeback to the tour, entering the tournament as the top seed.
The 22-year-old shared a positive fitness update ahead of his opening match, admitting that he feels “much better” physically even though he has gone a week without picking up his racket.
Sinner also disclosed that he has been working closely with his team to ensure that he can maintain the same high level of consistency he has shown all season.
“I’m fine physically, much much better, I haven’t touched a racket for a week, but everything is fine now. I arrived earlier than usual here in Canada. My team and I try to do everything in the best possible way, trying to be ready for every challenge that arises,” Jannik Sinner told Giovanni Pelazzo.
“I’m very happy to return to the country where I won my first Masters 1000, we will try to continue to be as consistent as we have been in the last year,” he added.
Following a first-round bye, Jannik Sinner will commence his campaign in Montreal against Pedro Martinez or a qualifier. The Italian is on the hunt for his second Masters 1000 title of the season after his Miami Open triumph.
