"I had to step up and play the best tennis" - Jannik Sinner
After beating 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic in the semi-final, Sinner couldn't stop praising the veteran for being the role model that he is. The Italian stated, as quoted by BBC Sport:
"I had to step up and play the best tennis I could. It shows again what a role model for all of us, especially for young players. What he is doing is incredible. We are so lucky to see him play high-level tennis."
However, Sinner will need to bring more than his A-game to beat Alcaraz's resolve in the ongoing final.
