A couple of years ago, it was a turning point for my career, playing some great tennis against great opponents. This I will always remember.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI come back here, and winning again, it\u2019s very nice. Yeah, so the support has been amazing since day one. Seeing a packed stadium for the final is amazing. The crowd was very nice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo yeah, that\u2019s why I wrote \u2018thank you\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetennisgazette.com\/news\/when-jannik-sinner-can-now-return-to-world-number-one-spot-after-carlos-alcaraz-withdraws-from-shanghai-masters\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sinner is now eyeing the world number one spot<\/a> again and it might not be too much longer to wait in order to reach the summit of the rankings. <\/p>\n<p>Jannik Sinner shares what was unusual about his China Open win<\/p>\n<p>Sinner hadn\u2019t taken part in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetennisgazette.com\/tag\/china-open\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">China Open<\/a> last year but did win the title in Beijing back in 2023.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetennisgazette.com\/news\/jannik-sinner-confirms-if-hes-now-injured-his-ankle-like-carlos-alcaraz-during-his-latest-win-in-beijing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sinner has had some injury scares<\/a> this week, but once again, he\u2019s claimed a title, and he\u2019s now won 18 titles on hard courts. <\/p>\n<p>After winning the 21st title of his career, he explained what he felt was somewhat unusual about this particular victory. <\/p>\n<p>He said in his press conference: \u201cYeah, great, of course, having my name next to them. At the same time, as I always say, everyone is different, everyone tries to make their own path and way of career. I don\u2019t know how many times they played here, actually.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut for me, this will always be a beautiful tournament, no matter what\u2019s coming in the future. It\u2019s very unusual to come to a place for the first time and win straightaway. This happened to me here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow three finals in a row in three years. It means that I really like to play tennis here. I feel very comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, it\u2019s very nice also to see that other big, big players have played here in these stadiums. It\u2019s very nice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sinner will now head to the Shanghai Masters, where he will play German player Daniel Altmaier on Friday.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jannik Sinner has claimed another title after beating Learner Tien in the final of the China Open.
