Jannik's Sinner's on-court interview by James Blake following his win against Jack Draper in the semifinals of the 2024 US Open.
James Blake:
Jannik, you've got to tell me about that second set. Congratulations, that was unbelievable, but it had absolutely everything. The drama, your opponent not feeling good, you falling, how's your wrist?
It had everything going in that second set.
Jannik Sinner:
Yeah, first of all, me and Jack (Draper), we know each other very well. We are good friends off the court. It was a very physical match, as we see.
I just tried to stay there mentally. He's so tough to beat. It's a very special occasion.
Thanks, everyone, to come out. The support has been amazing. I'm just happy to be in the final here.
James Blake:
You've gained so many fans these last couple of weeks. Now the final is coming up and you're going to be playing an American (Fritz or Tiafoe) no matter what. How do you think that's going to be?
How do you think that's going to feel, playing an American here in the finals of the U.S. Open?
Jannik Sinner:
I'm just happy to be in the final here. Whoever it is, it's going to be a very tough challenge for me. But I'm just looking forward to it.
It's the season I'm going through. It's very, very positive. Finals, they are very special days.
Every Sunday you get to play during the tournament means that you are doing an amazing job. We just try to keep pushing and then we'll see what I can do on Sunday.
James Blake:
Well, congratulations. Everybody, Jannik Sinner to the final.
