Jannik Sinner explains reasons behind trainer and physio splits ahead of world No. 1’s Wimbledon opener against Luca Nardi – ‘I feel free’

Speaking after the split, he told reporters: “Nothing major happened. Nothing big happened.

“I parted ways not long ago, but it’s not affecting me. I feel ready to compete. I feel free. I feel me and my team, we are ready to do the best we can.

“We’ve reached incredible results in the past with them, so obviously huge thanks to them. We made some great job, but I decided to do something different.

“Look, in this sport things can happen. Sometimes a player feels something different, and that’s my case.”

The 23-year-old’s latest outing came in the form of a second-round exit to Alexander Bublik at Halle.

Despite an underwhelming spell of recent form, Sinner is feeling confident in his quest to win a first Wimbledon title.

He continued: “Honestly, I feel ready to play. I feel ready. We are practicing very well. What happened in the past is in the past already.

“I feel good. Especially mentally, I feel in a very good spot. Halle was a little bit different. Now it’s gone and I see also the reactions of other players and people, they said the level (of the French Open final) was very high.

“I feel like that I’m playing great, great tennis on grass. Hopefully I can show this also in the match court.”

He said: “I think we have to start to understand that we are actually watching somebody who could become among the greatest players of all time in both Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

“And the other thing that I really love is the way they’re taking our game. It’s not towards just keeping the ball in play. It’s not towards just coming to the net on everything. It’s being super aggressive all the time.

“There are certain players on tour that are not playing like that, and they have to reshape their game if they’re going to stay with (them).

“Because Alcaraz and Sinner are taking it in a direction where it’s never been before, and it’s not coming back.”
