Jannik Sinner is in the French capital about to make his debut at the ATP Rolex Paris Masters. He will do so after being crowned in the exhibition tournament held in Riyadh, the 'Six Kings Slam'. There, the world number 1 pocketed around 6 million dollars, the highest cash prize in tennis history. Therefore, the Italian spoke with Eurosport about his little interest in money and about what is truly important to him: "I don't play for money, it's very simple. Sure, 6 million is a lot of prize money, but I went to Riyadh because there were probably the six best players in the world, and you can measure yourself against them. It was also a beautiful event, it was my first time in Riyadh and it was very enjoyable. When you return as a winner, for me it was more like: 'okay, I played the matches correctly and hopefully this can help me improve as a player in the future.' Of course, money is important, but not that much. I live a good life even without that money. It is much more important the health I have, the family I have, and being surrounded by the right people. Money is just an extra."

"I don't play for money." 🙅‍♂️
