I accept myself. I have matured, I understand myself better. It may seem silly, but getting to know yourself is fundamental. I worked a lot on this with Riccardo Ceccarelli [sports psychologist]. Sometimes I lost matches because I had spent too much energy, the cramps, the discomfort started. But when I started to admit that I was wrong, I took small steps forward. In a match, it is easier for me, I easily forget the mistake. In training, on the other hand, I quickly seek to improve.

In 2023, Sinner showed signs of consistency and captured a few titles. He won his first Masters 1000 title at the Canadian Open and led Italy to their first Davis Cup victory in nearly 50 years.

Sinner has confirmed that he will play in the ATP Doha 2025. This tournament will now be part of the ATP 500 series. It will take place from February 17 to February 22. This gives him a chance to earn important points early in the season.

The Italian star has also confirmed his return to the Rotterdam Open. He is the defending champion there, so this event is a key part of his February schedule. However, there is uncertainty about his plans beyond March.

The doping investigation involving Sinner is still unresolved. WADA is expected to give its decision soon. Depending on the outcome, his participation in tournaments after March could be affected.
