Sinner credits adrenaline for overcoming fatigue en route to Madrid final

Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner is riding a wave of success, reaching his maiden Madrid Open final and demonstrating remarkable resilience in a packed season. Sinner, who has been on a near non-stop schedule for the past two months, has secured titles in Indian Wells, Miami, and Monte Carlo. He credits the adrenaline surge from high-stakes matches for helping him push through mounting fatigue. This deep run in Madrid, following his semi-final victory over Arthur Fils, sets him up for a potential fifth successive Masters 1000 title if he defeats Alexander Zverev in the final. The victory would further solidify his strong start to the clay season and position him as the top contender for the upcoming French Open. With defending Roland Garros champion Carlos Alcaraz out due to injury, all eyes are on Sinner, who has the opportunity to complete a career Grand Slam in Paris. Despite the pressure and demanding schedule, Sinner remains focused on the present, expressing happiness about his first Madrid final and emphasizing his intention to recover before the Italian Open in Rome.

I've played a lot in the last one and a half months, going very deep in tournaments. It's a good sign, of course, and at the same time you tend to get a little bit more tired.
