Jannik Sinner made his feelings known on Roland Garros 2025 finals loss to Carlos Alcaraz

Jannik Sinner made his feelings known on his emotions after defeat to Carlos Alcaraz in the finals of the 2025 Roland Garros. The Italian started well, winning the first two sets with ease, but the Spaniard turned the match on his head to win the next three and defend his title successfully.

Notably, this was Sinner's second straight tournament finals loss to Alcaraz after the Italian Open in May. Sinner shared that he faced several sleepless nights after this defeat, and moving to a new tournament (Halle Open 2025) has been a positive for him. He said (via ATP Tour):

"I think that for me to play another tournament is positive, because every match is a new beginning, and I must be mentally ready to give my all on the court. Therefore, it is great I can be here in Halle. But yes, I had already a few sleepless nights, but I think every day it gets better. My family stand behind me, and my friends. That is the most important thing for me."

During the conversation, Sinner also mentioned the upcoming grass court season, stating that he uplifted his performance last year and is looking what this year has in store for him.
