Turin, 22 August (LaPresse) – "First of all, I'm very happy to be back here. It's a great tournament. It's obviously the last Slam we have this season, so motivation is very high. Physically, I feel good. In Cincinnati, I had a virus that other players also had. I've almost fully recovered, not 100% yet, but we're aiming to get there in a couple of days. So everything should be fine for the tournament.‘ Jannik Sinner said this at a press conference ahead of the start of the US Open. The world number one Italian looked back on last year's tournament, which took place just a few days after the Clostebol case was revealed: ’I feel different now, of course. Last year was a much more stressful situation, also because it came just before a Grand Slam. It was difficult to manage everything, even for me, who am still young," he said, as reported by Sky Sport. In the first round of the New York tournament, Sinner will face Czech Vit Kopriva, ranked 89th in the world. There are no previous matches between the two.
