THE MODERATOR: Would you please give us your thoughts on the match tonight and your level of play.

JANNIK SINNER: Well, today was for sure not easy. I didn't knew my opponent. Obviously if you win one match against Cecchinato, for sure he got a little bit of confidence.

I tried to stay on that what I have to do, sticking to my game plan. And nothing. The first set worked well. The second set was a little bit a roller coaster. I was down 5-2, and I managed somehow to break him when he was serving for the set. The tiebreak, I played well. The third set went in his way.

So the level today, I think it was quite high to be honest. He didn't missed many balls. I tried to play my game. Sometimes I had to go more forward, which I didn't done today, so I was a little bit struggling.

At the end I'm very happy about my performance.
