Sinner Talks About The Movement Issues After Winning In Wimbledon’s First Round

Despite occasional movement issues, Jannik Sinner won his opening match at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships rather easily.

Although the Italian is accustomed to playing on grass, he occasionally struggles with the slick turf, just like any other player.

That’s how he clarified some of his movement issues during the SW19 match versus Yannick Hanfmann.

Because of his height, Sinner finds it difficult to manage the low bounce on grass, thus it’s not the ideal surface for him.

His entire tennis performance was astounding as he defeated Hanfmann in every set except one, which the German played brilliantly.

Overall, he gave a very strong performance, rejecting claims that there was a physical issue with him and citing the slick grass court as a contributing factor to his mobility issues.

No, I’m in good physical shape. It was difficult to get the court dry because it was the first round, which is usually a little more slick.

I also noticed that it was raining a little bit while we were strolling on the court.”

“I noticed that the court was considerably drier and a little bit easier to maneuver as soon as we closed the roof.

However, in the early going when the grass is still growing, it is obviously a little slick, and people are having a little more trouble.

I therefore feel well physically.” Sinner’s physical well-being will be crucial at SW19, as his last Grand Slam performance in Paris was hampered by some medical issues.

Fans will want to see Sinner fully operational in London because that will make him the most dangerous, but it is normal at long events like that, especially towards the end.

Although he isn’t the best mover on grass, Carlos Alcaraz considers him to be one of his top choices. If he struggles with movement, he won’t progress very far.
