Reacting to his record-breaking fifth straight Masters title, Sinner said: āYeah, I mean, it means a lot. In the same time, you know, as I always said, I cannot compare myself with Rafa, Roger, Novak. You know, what they did is something incredible. I donāt play for these records or for records in general.
āI play for myself. I play for my team, because they know whatās behind. Also my family, you know, because my family, they, with the success Iāve had, they also never changed how they are towards me. They are simple parents, and I feel very safe when Iām around them.
āWe never talk about tennis when Iām at home, you know, so itās a great relationship. Itās really just, you know, parents and me. Yeah, look, it means, of course, a lot, great numbers. But there is a lot of discipline, a lot of sacrifice behind this.
āThereās also daily routines that I put in. I also, Iām the first person who needs to be ready, you know, in the morning to wake up. I like the journey. I like to put myself in the best possible position to be the best version of myself.
