Four-time Grand Slam champion and current world number one, Italian tennis star **[Jannik Sinner](https://example.com)**, opened up about how he navigated challenging times during the current season. The player faced a suspension due to a doping violation.

“I’m eager to win as many matches as I can, but there are moments when I have to push through tough periods. We all have doubts. Even I have my hesitations when I step onto the court, but I remind myself that I have the ability to win. Winning a Grand Slam is a unique feeling that I’ve always wanted to convey, but I never take anything for granted. Anything can happen off the court, and sometimes, you just can’t control it,” Sinner shared in a documentary for Rolex.

In related news, Sinner triumphed yesterday, August 26, in the first round of the US Open, defeating the 89th-ranked Czech player Vít Kopřiva with a score of 6-1, 6-1, 6-2. In the next round, the Italian athlete will face 36th-ranked Australian player Alexei Popyrin.
