Jannik Sinner is unsure if he agrees with Roger Federer‘s comments after the Swiss star said he would prefer not to face one of his greatest rivals in a Grand Slam final.
“Well, I mean, yes and no. You know, that’s what Roger said. I feel like we all think the same way, but you know, I love these challenges. I love to put myself in these positions,” Sinner said.
“You know, he’s someone who pushed me to limit, which is great, because then you have the best feedback you can have as a player. We have faced each other quite a lot now lately, so you know, things are getting a little bit different.
“Always when we step on court, we are aware of maybe more things, because him or me, we try to prepare the match tactically and in different ways, so yeah. But sometimes it’s also nice to not play, you know, against him (smiling).
“It’s nice, but as I always said, it’s great for the sport having rivalries, having hopefully great matches in front of us. And then we see. I’m someone who loves these challenges, and I love to put myself in these positions and to see how it goes.”
