--><\/p>\n<p>Jannik Sinner says he made a lot of \u201csacrifices\u201d between his French Open agony and his Wimbledon glory.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian was the heavy favourite to lift his first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/french-open\">Roland Garros<\/a> crown after winning all five of this season\u2019s Masters 1000 titles, coupled with the absence of injured defending champion Carlos Alcaraz.<\/p>\n<p>But the 24-year-old suffered a physical collapse during scoring temperatures at the clay Grand Slam and eventually lost in five sets to Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the second round.<\/p>\n<p>The 6ft 3in player chose not to play any grass court events in the lead-up to Wimbledon, with the world No 1 also doing a number of medical checks to get to the bottom of his physical struggles.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner kept them at bay at this year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a> as he defended his title after beating <a

How do you compare the emotions after this fifth Grand Slam title compared to the four first titles?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a> told reporters, \u201cI think every Grand Slam is different, you know. Different story, different environment, different feelings before the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me this one means a lot because was a tough one after Paris again. Last year was also tough. But coming here, I tried to put myself in the best possible position to be as competitive as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, we put in a lot of workdays in Monaco, very, very long. Definitely sacrificing a lot of my time and everything to be in this position. Having this achievement, it means a lot to me. Yeah, it was an amazing day today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Italian added, \u201cI have improved throughout the whole tournament. If you see the performance from the first two, three matches, then how I ended the tournament, it has been always growing. That\u2019s exactly what I needed. I was looking for this improvement, a player improvement, from my side. We made it happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, mentally you need to make the switch, as well, to be able to do so. But I\u2019m very happy how I handled the situation, especially this year. Yeah, now it\u2019s time to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT ELSE? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/alexander-zverev-says-her-experienced-something-hes-never-felt-before-after-wimbledon-final-defeat\">Everything Alexander Zverev said after losing the Wimbledon final to Jannik Sinner<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Sacrificing a lot\u2019 \u2013 Jannik Sinner lifts lid on tough road from French Open agony to Wimbledon glory Richie Mills 13 Jul 2026 6:00 AM Jannik Sinner holding the Wimbledon trophy Jannik Sinner says he made a lot of \u201csacrifices\u201d between his French Open agony and his Wimbledon glory.
