THE MODERATOR: Questions in English.

Q. Do you know that next year we won't have any more line judges in these kind of tournaments, so it don't happen as it was today? What do you think about that? How is it possible to start a point at this moment? Did you hesitate?

JANNIK SINNER: No, it happened. You know, you cannot do nothing anymore. It's already the past.

I mean, it's tough to accept this, yes. It's tough, a tough one to swallow, because, you know, I was playing at some point great tennis. Was, you know, yeah, playing well. You know, tactically everything went in the right direction.

You know, everyone can make mistakes unfortunately or fortunately. You know, also I can make mistakes. And it went like this.

Then after, you know, to having cramps, it's a consequence of most likely of this what happened, you know, because it also goes in the nervous side of the brain (smiling), and then after, it's not easy to play. I tried my best still.

You know, Stefanos raised the level, but when the momentum changes, it goes like this. This is the fun part of tennis.

Q. And about the new rules for next year?

JANNIK SINNER: Yeah, we are still here with these rules, and let's see what's coming in the next year.
