Tennis: Sinner Returns In Good Shape, Swiatek Focuses On Growth At China Open
Jannik Sinner: Men's top seed Jannik Sinner and women's top seed Iga Swiatek shared their expectations on Wednesday ahead of the China Open tennis tournament, both expressing hopes to enjoy their time and experience in Beijing.
"It's again great to be back in a tournament. After the US Open, the body's in good shape. Mind also. Had some good time off after the US Open," said Sinner, who lost to world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open final a month ago.
The Italian will face world No. 97 Marin Cilic of Croatia in the round of 32 on Thursday. "Of course, the first round is never easy in any tournament. So let's see what I can do tomorrow. But in everything, I'm very happy to be back again. Hopefully to play some good tennis," he added. "We try to prepare ourselves in the best possible way. Obviously, I'm very looking forward to playing again here in China, and we'll see how it goes."
