Glad with the level I played in the final – Jannik Sinner after Cincinnati Open title

World No.1 Jannik Sinner was delighted with his level after he defeated Frances Tiafoe in the final of the Cincinnati Open by 7-6, 6-2 on Tuesday. Sinner was able to bring his best in the crucial moments and got the better out of the American. 

Sinner had played back-to-back three-set matches against  Andrey Rublev and Alexander Zverev but he wrapped the final in straight sets to continue his dream run in the season.

The Italian admitted it was a tough week for him but in the end, he was happy to go all the way.

“It was a very difficult week, tough week. I’m very happy about about today’s match,” Sinner said in his on-court interview. “It was very tough mentally. Had such an amazing run here, and I tried to do my best today. We both were quite tired from yesterday. We both felt a lot of tension, but I’m very glad about [the] level I played today, especially in the important moments.”

The 23-year-old got over the line in one hour and 37 minutes. This was Sinner’s fifth title of the season after Melbourne, Rotterdam, Miami, and Halle, and he is the only player to claim two ATP Masters 1000 crowns in 2024.

“It has been a tough week, some ups and downs, which is normal to have,” Sinner said. “But how I handled the very important moments in each match, I’m very happy.”

Sinner wants to be ready for the upcoming US Open in the best possible manner as it is the main goal.

”Now, for sure, it’s important to recover, to be to be ready for New York. This is our main goal here for this U.S. swing,” Sinner said. “I’m very happy to be in a position where I am and just trying to keep going mentally, having this hunger to keep playing, and hopefully I can show some good tennis also New York.”

The US Open main draw matches will begin from August 26.
