“It was a very good match, at a very high level from both of them. I’m very happy. This was one of my greatest victories. It was a win over the world number one,” said Sinner, who rated the win over the world number one highly. He won 24 Grand Slam tournaments.”

Sinner explained that he won the match because, unlike before, he was “more self-confident in decisive moments, in decisive rallies.”
