« Will I be number 3 in the world? It means a lot to me and to all of Italy . The most important thing , however, is to move Italian tennis in the direction of letting many kids play , of being an example . In the end it's just a number."

Thus Jannik Sinner, speaking to CorrereTv, after his victory in the semi-final over the Dutchman Griekspoor in the ATP tournament in Rotterdam which allowed him to rise to number 3 in the world in the ATP rankings. To date, no Italian like him.

«Today I raised my level, it was the best match of the tournament so far and we hope it will give me more confidence for tomorrow» are the words of the Italian, who from Monday 26 February will be mathematically number 3 in the world , but will be so from Monday 19 if he were to win the title in Rotterdam against Alex De Minaur in the final .
