Tennis: humble Sinner surprised to be world no. 2

(ANSA) - ROME, APR 2 - Italian tennis sensation Jannik Sinner has expressed his surprise at becoming the world number two after his outstanding form continued with his victory at the Miami Open last weekend.
    "Being number two means a lot to me, but more importantly, it was a great performance for me, especially in that semi-final and final, which for me it's more important," Australian Open champion Sinner told a news conference.
    "Being number two is an amazing feeling.
    "I never thought to come to this point. I come from a very normal family.
    "My dad is still working, as is my mom, too. For me, sport is one thing, and life is different. I'm very happy to be in this position." The 22-year-old can now start his bid to overtake tennis great Novak Djokovic and become the world's top-ranked player.
    At the moment, 1.015 points are between them. (ANSA).
