Reigning champion

As reigning champion and member ofAll England Lawn Tennis and Croquet ClubSinner enjoys what he achieved last year. “It’s a great honor for me. I’ve always said that I consider Wimbledon the most beautiful tournament, the most prestigious and having won here is very important for me – explains the Italian -. I’m 24 years old, I play tennis because I like it and for me this remains the most important thing, I’m here to play tennis, then at the end of my career maybe I’ll really realize what it means to be a member of this club. In the meantime I continue to give my all to try to be the best tennis player possible, but it’s a competition with myself, I like to question myself and improve, but I also like to be a normal guy off the pitch, being with family and friends is the most important thing for me. I have always made many sacrifices to become as strong as possible, to do so you have to put many things aside, but I would do it all again because my dream was to become a professional player, I succeeded, but this won’t change my attitude.”
