Jannik Sinner is now focused on winning his maiden Wimbledon Championship having reached the semi-finals in 2023. This is the Italian’s fourth tournament of the season having been suspended for three months. He has revealed the level of preparation he has undertaken ahead of the grass-court Grand Slam.

Sinner is on an excellent run of form this season. Despite just winning the Australian Open in January, he has been to two finals since then. After returning from his three-month suspension due to testing positive for the banned substance clostebol, he reached the Italian Open final but lost to Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets.

At Roland Garros, he made an impressive run to the final without dropping a set. But in the final, he let Alcaraz come from behind to beat him in five sets, which lasted for five hours and 29 minutes. It is now the longest-ever final in the history of the clay-court Grand Slam tournament.

After that, he competed at the Terra Wortmann Open as a warm-up tournament ahead of Wimbledon. As the defending champion, he was the favorite to win the title but he ended up winning just one match at the tournament. He crashed out in the third round after losing to eventual champion Alexander Bublik.

The 23-year-old is now focused on bouncing back from the two defeats in his last three matches at the All England Club. He has never reached the final of the tournament but ahead of kick-off on June 30, he revealed to GQ that he is preparing physically for Wimbledon as he aims to give maximum intensity on the court:

Every year you understand a little bit better how to play and how to move because this surface is quite unique. We train, change a couple of things. Physically, everything is fine now, but we are improving a lot. So now the days are very, very long, but that is exactly what I need. Especially before such big tournaments: the intensity has to be at its maximum right away. And then we will see what I can show.

Sinner has never lifted a Grand Slam title outside of the hard courts. Also, he’s known to play his best tennis outside of grass and clay. But, he cannot be underestimated at Wimbledon because of his fast-paced adaptability to difficult surfaces.

Jannik Sinner shares how he recovered from his loss against Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open final

Jannik Sinner will never forget his five-set loss to Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open final earlier this month. The Italian had won the first two sets and was leading the 22-year-old 5-3 (40-0) and was ready to serve for the championship match. But he failed to capitalize on the three championship points and allowed Alcaraz to win the match in the end.

During the aforementioned interview, he revealed he recharged his batteries after the loss to the Spaniard:

I had some time off. I recharged the batteries. We had, with the family, a nice barbecue. I was with friends playing ping pong. The most important thing for me is to come back home, to see my parents, to see the people who saw me growing up, and who never changed.

Sinner will be seeking revenge against Alcaraz at the Wimbledon Championship. They are projected to face each other in the final of the tournament, but Sinner may face seven-time champion Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals.
