Sinner addressed his physical recovery and the timeline for his return during the talk. “I’m fine, we’re doing everything to be on the court as soon as possible,” Sinner said, according to Ubitennis. He noted that strict medical protocols guide his recovery to protect his long-term career.

He added, La pressione è l’ultimo dei miei problemi when responding to a question from director Ubaldo Scanagatta regarding recent months, kicking off his reply with a joke about the length of the question: Come sempre domande molto corte, il problema è che poi mi dimentico sempre la prima parte.

The 25-year-old player reflected on his 2026 Wimbledon victory against Alexander Zverev. “There is a big difference between a lost final and a won final,” Sinner told Ubitennis, explaining that patience became his primary weapon when Zverev lowered his first-serve percentage.

Darren Cahill discussed his working relationship with Sinner, which began in 2022. Cahill praised the player’s relentless curiosity, noting that Sinner constantly asks questions to improve. Magnus Norman now steps into the coaching team, a transition Sinner described as smooth due to Norman’s similarities to Cahill.

Passion for Motorsport and Kimi Antonelli

Sinner also shared a mention of Kimi Antonelli, who recently became Formula 1 world champion, stating, Ho una grande passione per il motorsport.

Sinner offered guarded comments regarding the 2027 Australian Open. He hopes to make the trip to Australia, but emphasized that he must respect medical protocols to avoid reinjury. Prior tournament appearances before Melbourne remain an open possibility depending on his physical progress.

The rigorous rehabilitation schedule leaves little room for rushed decisions. Sinner emphasized that his medical team dictates the pace of his comeback. Whether that recovery permits a tournament appearance before the opening Grand Slam of 2027 depends entirely on how his body responds to upcoming training blocks.
