“A great joy, really nice. We spoke after the final, even if only briefly,” he said.
Johann also admitted that watching Sinner on a television screen was more unsettling than watching him from the stands.
“I can say that watching him play on TV makes you suffer more, it was easier to follow him in Indian Wells or at the Finals in Turin,” he added.
