Sinner aims to excel on all court surfaces after AO win

Sinner aims to master clay and grass after winning third hardcourt Grand Slam amidst doping case uncertainty.

Double Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner aims to master clay and grass courts following his recent victory.

He retained his title at Melbourne Park with a convincing win over Alexander Zverev.

Sinner, ranked world number one, secured his third hardcourt Grand Slam title in just four months after his U.S. Open win.

Though he reached the semi-finals of both the French Open and Wimbledon in recent seasons, Sinner emphasised the need to excel on all surfaces.

He stated, “You have to be a complete player, not only on one surface but on also the other two.”

Sinner acknowledged that while his clay and grass seasons last year were satisfactory, he believes there is room for improvement.

He noted his success on hardcourts, winning 37 of his last 38 matches.

Sinner expressed his commitment to progressing in other Grand Slam events, highlighting his youth as an advantage for adapting.

He also mentioned his unfamiliarity with grass courts, having not played juniors.

Sinner remains focused on his development as he prepares for the upcoming season.
