Sinner: “First of all, Carlos, congrats again – an amazing performance, amazing level, amazing everything, amazing job.
“I am so happy for you, you deserve it so congrats.

“My team, thank you so much, obviously.
“We tried our best, we gave everything we had. Some time ago we would have signed to be here.
“It’s very difficult but it’s still an amazing tournament.
“Thank you ball kids, line judges, chair umpire.
“I’m still happy with this.
“I won’t sleep well tonight but it’s okay.”
A very mature and considered speech given the circumstances…
