The 21-year-old Italian brought on coaches Simone Vagnozzi and Darren Cahill to his team during this season to help add to his game, which already had a lot of firepower.
“Serving, net game and my variety generally,” he said, describing his improvements. “Tactically, more dropshots and serving-and-volleying. The important thing is to understand at what point in the rally to use them. This is why I’m eager to start the new season.”
But Sinner also knows he will have tough competition from his fellow players, naming some other young players among his biggest rivals.
“Alcaraz, [Holder] Rune, [Félix] Auger-Aliassime and [Lorenzo] Musetti,” he said. “The group of 24-26 year olds, [Alexander] Zverev, [Daniil] Medvedev, [Stefanos] Tsitispas, [Casper] Ruud, [Matteo] Berrettini and [Andrey] Rublev. And of course [Rafael] Nadal and [Novak] Djokovic, incredible legends who still have something to give,” he said.
