«I’m happy to be back on the field, Roland Garros is a special tournament for me because here I played my first quarter-final at Slam level. I try to build something day after day, I’m happy with today’s performance. The hip is fine, my team and I worked a lot. I’m not 100% fit, we’re trying to get it back. Thank you all for the help and support”, this is how Jannik Sinner commented on the victory, reassuring fans about his state of health.
