Italian Jannik Sinner said on Sunday he had experienced "a few sleepless nights" since his historic French Open final loss to Carlos Alcaraz.
Sinner, 23, tasted defeat after five hours and 29 minutes in Roland Garros' longest ever final last weekend and wasted three match points, having been two sets up.
"I already had a few sleepless nights, but I think every day it gets better," Sinner told reporters before starting his grass season in Halle, Germany next week.
"Tennis is important in my life but nevertheless family and friends are more important.”
"Nonetheless I think often about the match," the world No. 1 added.
Sinner failed to add to his Australian and US Open titles in the already legendary decider with Spaniard Alcaraz in Paris.
He returned home to Trentino-South Tyrol after the gruelling encounter on clay.
"I was very relaxed with my family. We grilled a bit, played table tennis with my friends," Sinner said.
