J. SINNER/C. Ruud
6-1, 6-2
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. One unique thing about your game is you hit a huge amount of topspin on the backhand side. Very high in terms of rpm. Rare for two-handed players. Were you inspired by another player's style or specific coach or something that came naturally to you?
JANNIK SINNER: I think my backhand is the most natural shot I have. Of course, I try to work for whatever works best for you. It's a very natural shot for me. So not really, no.
I think it's very personal, each shot, forehand, backhand, whatever works best for each of us. It's quite personal.
Q. Just comment on reaching a second consecutive final and what you need to do this time against Taylor Fritz in the final.
JANNIK SINNER: Yeah, it's a very similar position as I was in last year. Just I've grown in 12 months now as a player.
Tomorrow is going to be a very interesting day in any case. I'm happy again to be in this position. It's a very special occasion. Sundays in each tournament means that you had a great, great week.
Hopefully I'm going to enjoy tomorrow and we see what's coming out.
I'm happy to be again in this position.
