“Just try to improve everyday with the right mentality” - Jannik Sinner on his quick rise

Jannik Sinner will take on World No. 37 Hubert Hurkacz in the final of the Miami Open on Sunday. If he ends up lifting the trophy, the Italian will become the third youngest Masters 1000 champion of all time - behind only Rafael Nadal and Michael Chang.

Jannik Sinner added that he is not focused on winning a particular trophy or a particular ranking, but instead on the development of his overall game for the future.
