“I feel our rivalry started here, playing an amazing match,” Sinner said.


“We're two different players now, different confidence too, so let's see what's coming. We've played quite a lot this year, so we know each other very well. In any case, it has been an amazing tournament, an amazing feeling to play in front of you.
