After the triumph in Miami Jannik trains at his home especially with a view to Rome and Paris. And he reveals how he spent the 90 minutes of stoppage due to rain: “I listened to music and joked to ease the tension”
Nerve control is one of Jannik Sinner’s weapons. When tension rises and any of us inevitably get agitated, this is what happens to the champions: absolute control, the ability to maintain an icy coolness and even something more. A magical touch, a winning shot, the best skill brought out at the right time. When everything seems over Jannik Sinner symbolically presses a button, resets and manages to give his best. Even an hour and a half inside a locker room between one set and another as happened in Miami can be a cause of stress, the simplicity with which the Italian tennis player explained what he did in those very long ninety minutes explains perfectly what we are talking about. “During the rain break I simply listened to some music. I was playing well, hitting the ball better. Certain,” there was a bit of tension, but I also started joking to break it“.
And now the red earth
Having concluded the parenthesis on hard courts splendidly, Sinner will now perform on the red earth of Monte Carlo, appetizer of the events he cares about most: Rome and Paris. At the Foro Italico and Roland Garros last season Jannik was defeated by Carlos Alcaraz. The defeat in France in a final that was epic in terms of quality of play and emotion still stings. Sinner wants to use Monte Carlo to train well, he will be at his home and will have everything he needs to prepare. “If I’m physically well on Thursday we’ll start again on clay. If I want to play singles, doubles (where he is registered with Zizou Bergs, could give me a hand to test the conditions a little in Monte Carlo and give me the chance to be ready as best as possible for an important tournament, which also serves as preparation for what comes next.” In the Principality tournament, Sinner by winning or reaching the semi-finals if Carlos is eliminated in the quarter-finals, he has the chance to become number one in the world again.”Carlos was very consistent for a long time, and now we go to earth, where we know how strong he is. For me, it’s important to recover, and I don’t even have too much time to adapt to the red clay in view of Monte Carlo.”
Ever richer
The brace between Indian Wells and MiamiIt also translates into a very heavy economic loot, which relaunches the Italian in the race for earnings and brings him ever closer to his rival Carlos Alcaraz. With the victory at the Miami Open, Sinner grossed $1.15 millionan amount identical to that earned a few weeks earlier in California. The Sunshine Double is therefore worth a total of 2.3 million dollarsto which are added the prizes collected in the first months of the season: the Italian’s 2026 total thus rises to 3.22 million.
