""It's quite unusual for me... I don't know the last time I played at 11. But for me it doesn't matter what time. I try to do my best.""
""But at the same time, I feel like we need to make some adjustments to the scheduling of the day. Two matches [starting] from 8pm is very late.""
""You finish at 1.30am, and you need to eat, you need to have treatment, so it's very late. But we try to adapt ourselves, our bodies, our minds, so from my side it was a good performance today.""
""I was serving well today in the important moments... We know each other quite well. We practised a lot in the last tournaments, also. So, we both knew what to expect.""
Jannik Sinner urged the Madrid Open organisers to reconsider their scheduling to avoid late-night finishes, referencing Rafael Jodar's match that ended at 1am. Sinner played at 11am, winning against Cameron Norrie to reach the quarter-finals. He acknowledged the need for adjustments, stating that matches starting at 8pm are too late, impacting players' recovery. Despite the unusual start time, Sinner performed well, winning 81% of his first-serve points. He is now on a 25-match winning streak at the Masters 1000 level and awaits his next opponent.
