Jannik Sinner on his approach for the upcoming year after an incredible 2024
Jannik Sinner had an incredible run of form in 2024, having reigned as World No.1 since June this year. The 23-year-old has won 70 of the 76 matches he played this season, and has made eight trips to the top of the podium.
Explaining what his goals for 2025 are, Sinner outlined that he was more focused on finding out what he can achieve rather than setting a fixed target, saying (as quoted by Atptour.com),
“My goal was to understand what I can achieve this year. There was no specific goal of winning a Grand Slam or being No. 1 or whatever. It’s going to be the same next year: Whatever we can catch, we take, and the rest we learn.
“I think that was the mentality we approached this whole year [with] trying to raise my level in specific moments, which I’ve done throughout this year. I [will approach it] in the same way I did this year: Keeping calm, having my connection with my team. Taking it seriously, but also relaxed. You need to have a good balance,” he added.
Aside from rising to the rank of World No.1, Jannik Sinner’s 2024 has seen him storm to the title in eight singles tournaments. Alongside his victory at the ATP Finals, he was also crowned champion at the Australian Open, US Open, ABN Amro Open, ATP Masters 1000 Miami, Terra Wortmann Open, ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati, and the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai.
