“Sinner confesses their biggest regret of 2024: ‘If I look back…'”
The world number 1 talked about the tournament that hurt the most to lose this year. “I had played very well until the match with Medvedev”.
Jannik Sinner had a great time this past weekend, as the Italian enjoyed firsthand the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi. The world number 1 visited Max Verstappen and company, went by the Ferrari pit stop, and even waved the checkered flag in the final race of the F1 season.
The Italian has been a big fan of motorsport since childhood, so he thoroughly enjoyed this experience. In fact, Sinner confessed to Corriere della Sera, that Michael Schumacher’s skiing accident that left him in a coma in 2013 impacted him greatly. “As a child, I followed Formula 1, but I had never attended a live race. The first memory is of Schumacher. When he had the accident skiing, it was a blow for me“. 11 years have passed since then, when Sinner was just 12 years old. However, he remembers perfectly what he thought back then. “That episode made me realize that life can change in a second. We should never take anything for granted, live day by day, enjoy it with a purpose,” he added.
Not far from there, in Dubai, the Italian is preparing for the upcoming season with the primary goal of defending the title at the Australian Open. However, it is the first time he will attend as the world number 1 and he believes he still has to learn how to stay at the top. “We did some tests to understand what kind of preparation to do, what strategies to use. There are many sacrifices behind, I’m only 23 years old and I’ve only been at the top this season. The goal is not just to win for three years, but to continue playing when I’m 30. This season has been amazing, but everything can change,” he reflected.
Wimbledon, his biggest regret
And, despite having been the best player in 2024, Sinner is not perfect. He himself revealed which tournament he believes he could have done much better in: “Looking back, Wimbledon is the tournament I regret the most (he fell in the quarterfinals). I had played very well until the match with Medvedev. That’s how it goes, our sport is unpredictable. Next year we shall see, no one knows the future“.
