Although it is a great achievement, the Italian says that it was not his motive.
In 2011, few could have imagined a tennis player who would succeed in surpassing the record of Novak Djokovic, who tied the 31st victory at the Masters.
However, 15 years later, while he was still on the court, Jannik Sinner appeared, who reached the number 32 with a victory against Andrey Rublev in Rome.
– It’s hard to talk about it. I don’t play to break records, but to write my own story. Of course this means a lot to me, but tomorrow we have a new opponent. We will play in different conditions, in the evening, so we will see how everything will look – said Sinner after the match.
Before Sinner is a semi-final match against Daniil Medvedev.
– My priority now is to recover as well as possible. It is emotionally very demanding to play here at home, in front of the home crowd. However, I will try to give my best and we will see what happens. In any case, it was a great day – concluded Sinner.
Casper Ruud and Luciano Darderi meet in the second semi-final.
