“I’m really happy. We’ve done the medical tests, I’m alright. Now we have to continue working: I will play the ATP 500 in Halle, Wimbledon and certainly the Olympics, which will be an important point in my career.”

Jannik Sinner told Sky Sport his emotions after carrying out the medical checks required for Italian athletes who could participate in the Olympic Games Jannik will be competing in the Olympic Games for the first time and is looking forward to representing Italy after winning the Davis Cup last November. The new world number 1 went to Rome for the normal medical visits of the CONI Olympic prospective athletes routine.

In the company of the athletic trainer Umberto Ferrara and the Italian captain Filippo Volandri, Sinner carried out the entire visit and made some statements talking about the impending commitments and the Olympic aspirations.

“ATP No.1? It’s a pretty good feeling, but this year I will simply be 23: I will still have a lot of work to do. My adventure has only begun,” he told.

“Going to the Olympics is a big honor for me. It will be played in Europe, I’m extremely excited. I’m curious to meet all the other Italians besides Filippo and to all team up together. The aims are the same as I had before: to improve both as a tennis player and as a person. The immediate focus is on Wimbledon, where I will try to move forward as much as possible, and of course on Paris 2024 to try to win a medal,” added the Italian.
