Jannik Sinner fait son grand retour cette semaine au Masters 1000 de Rome. L'Italien lancera sa saison sur terre battue contre Mariano Navone ou son jeune compatriote Federico Cina samedi. Ensuite, il pourrait croiser Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Francisco Cerundolo, Casper Ruud puis Alex De Minaur. Il sera intéressant de voir le niveau de jeu de Sinner, après trois mois sans compétition et cette suspension pour dopage.

00:00Je suis très heureux d'être là-hier, il a été trois mois très longs, j'ai été heureux de partager des moments avec ma famille, avec mes amis, nous étions pratiqués très hard,
00:17surtout en la gym, en la première fois, je suis retournée à la courte, j'ai vu qu'il y a beaucoup d'attention, je suis aussi off-the-court et je suis aussi très surpris à voir des photos,
00:33qui n'est pas sérieux, je ne sais pas, je ne suis pas en relation, donc c'est tout bon.
00:49Ok, we'll start with English, please ask for microphone and introduce yourself.
00:58Hello Yannick, Russell Fuller from the BBC, can I ask you about the agreement that you reached with the World Anti-Doping Agency
01:04and whether you consider yourself fortunate that the ban was only three months and meant that you have not had to miss any of the Grand Slams?
01:12Well, it's for me personally good news that there are not the Grand Slams included, for sure it's, of course, it's, you know, at some point, you know,
01:24when you go on court, you can go both ways or nothing or a lot, so, you know, there are, it's kind of agreement, you know, it's,
01:33it's, I didn't want to do it in the beginning, you know, so it was a bit, uh, not easy for me to, to accept it because I know what,
01:42what really happened, um, but sometimes we have to choose the, the best, the best in, uh, in a very bad moment
01:50and, um, and that's, you know, what, what we did, so, um, it's all over now, so I'm happy to, to play tennis again.
01:59Hi, Yannick, uh, Tamani Karo from the Guardian, uh, just, just curious,
02:02what has been the toughest part of the past three months and not being on tour and, and how much were you
02:07anticipating this moment of being back? Um, to be honest, for me, the toughest part was that in the
02:12beginning, I, I couldn't watch any other sport, really, you know, in, in real life, um, I don't know how many
02:18knows this, um, but, you know, I was, for example, watching a simple football match in a stadium, I couldn't go there
02:25to watch it, um, you know, I wanted to support my, my friends in, in, in cycling or a motor sport, I couldn't go
02:32there, you know, it was a bit, that for me was the, the toughest part, but all things considered,
02:37I tried, you know, to, to make the best out of it, um, being ready mentally, you know, from the point
02:42when I started again to play tennis and, and that's it, no, it's, uh, it's all, it's all fine, um,
02:48and, and yeah, I was very glad to spend also some time with my family.
02:54Hey, Yannick, uh, Matt Futterman. What has your reception been like, uh, coming back here,
03:00um, and seeing some of the players who you may not have seen in a while, and were you having
03:06any expectation of how that would go, and is there any people you'd like to speak with?
03:11No, I'm, it's a very, very low expectation tournament in general for me, you know, it's,
03:17um, talking also results wise, I don't know, for me, that's what's missing is the complete feedback,
03:22you know, of, of my level, where my level is, um, that's gonna come then slowly with, with the time
03:29of, uh, of playing, you know, after the first round match, I'm gonna have, um, a good, you know,
03:35picture of myself, where I am at, um, talking about the other stuff, you know, with, with players,
03:41I just arrived 45 minutes ago, I, I haven't seen so many, I was down, you know, talking with,
03:47with some, some players, it's, it's all, it's all fine at the moment, so, uh, but I haven't seen
03:53most of them, you know, so, it's very strange feeling again in the beginning, you know, to,
03:59to be around with so many people and attention, but it's, uh, it's nice to be back, and we had my,
04:05my team are very happy.
04:12Yannick, Felix, I just wanted to ask, you've, uh, been holding a tennis racket, um, ever since
04:19your childhood, uh, all the time, was it, was there a moment during that break now, where
04:23it felt good to let go of it, to get away from the sport a little, to maybe clear your
04:28mind, or was it just not pleasurable?
04:31No, it was, for me, look, last year was very difficult, you know,
04:35I had a lot of, uh, personal pressure, you know, holding everything, and, in, in,
04:41I couldn't talk with many people about what happened, I was in a tough situation, and in
04:47the beginning of, of the Australian Open, you know, I, I struggled a lot, so, you know,
04:52it was nice also to take a, a small break, um, three months is, is a little bit, you know,
04:58it is what it is, but, you know, um, a small break was, was good, um, but I could feel
05:04that I'm not playing, you know, for, uh, for quite a long time, you know, it's, it's, you
05:09know, the, the body still has to adjust at times, you know, the, the blisters in hands,
05:13you know, they, they, they come again, because, you know, you're not used to it anymore, so,
05:17so, um, but all good, I'm, I'm just very happy, very curious to see where I am at, and then
05:23we see.
05:24Anyone else?
05:28Yannick, are you surprised that you are still world number one, that nobody overtook you in
05:33your three months away?
05:34Um, to be honest, I was barely looking any match, especially in the beginning, I was not
05:39following in New Wales and Miami, of course, I, I saw the results, because it's normal, but,
05:44you know, the tennis itself, I was not watching as much, I started again from, from, from
05:49Madrid, you know, trying to study, and then trying to understand some, some of the players,
05:54which are very interesting to see, um, so, I mean, I couldn't control anything of it, you
06:00know, there was, um, some players, they struggled a little bit more, then, new players, and new
06:05generation, it's, it's coming stronger, stronger, um, so, yeah, um, for me, what's most
06:13important is the race, you know, the race to Turin, which gives you a bigger picture
06:16of, of, of how players play, you know, in, in that moment, and now I'm, I'm happy in
06:22the position I am, but I would be happy even if I'm three or four in the world, to be honest,
06:26I'm, I'm just happy to be back here, I'm happy to, to play again in front of, in front
06:31of the fans, and that I also have a, a goal in front of my eyes, where, where I can push
06:36through.
