Jannik Sinner has credited his second-round exit at the French Open with giving him valuable extra training time ahead of his Wimbledon title defense.
In an interview with Vogue, the world number one described taking a week off after the Paris loss to spend time with family and friends before returning to training.
Sinner noted that the early exit allowed more preparation time for Wimbledon and the subsequent American hard-court swing.
He also provided a positive health update, stating that he feels good physically after medical checks and additional training.
Sinner holds a 37-3 record this season and faces no immediate threat to his top ranking.
