Learn everything about Jannik Sinner's parents, their background, and how they helped shape the young tennis star's journey to becoming one of the sport's rising talents.
Jannik Sinner made history by winning his maiden US Open title just a few hours ago. The Italian tennis star demonstrated tremendous resilience in advancing to the final of the prestigious tournament. However, in the final, Sinner faced American star Taylor Fritz. Playing on home soil, Fritz received a warm reception as he walked out to chase his dream.
Unfortunately, it ended in heartbreak for the home crowd. Following Jessica Pegula’s loss in the women’s final, Fritz also fell short, succumbing to a 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 defeat, as Sinner emerged victorious. As the spotlight shines on Sinner, fans have become curious about the family behind the champion. Here’s everything you need to know about Jannik Sinner’s parents.
Jannik Sinner grew up in northern Italy, in the South Tyrol region. He was born on August 16, 2001, to Siglinde and Johann Sinner. Both of his parents were hardworking and encouraged Jannik to pursue sports from a young age. His mother, Siglinde, worked as a waitress at a restaurant in a ski lodge, while his father, Johann, was a chef at the same establishment. In his youth, his parents encouraged him to practice a variety of sports, including tennis, skiing, swimming, and football.
In fact, Jannik Sinner initially excelled in skiing more than tennis. He was one of the top junior skiers and even won a national award at the age of just 8. However, by the time he turned 14, Jannik had become deeply focused on tennis.
Reflecting on his parents, Jannik has often acknowledged the support and values they instilled in him from a young age. In an emotional interview with People after his Australian Open triumph, Jannik said, “They were working. I think that’s the kind of mentality they gave me … If you want to reach something, you have to work, and this kind of work ethic you can obviously learn, but most of the time it’s the parents who give it to you.”
Well, the US Open triumph marks the continuation of a fabulous year for the Italian. This was his second Grand Slam triumph this year. Upon winning the title, Jannik will be entitled to a prize money of $3,600,000. On the flip side, Taylor Fritz will get a check of $1,800,000 as the runner-up of the tournament.
Thus, getting a move on in his professional career, Jannik Sinner has notched two Grand Slams to his name in a short period. Having also reached the semi final stages of the Wimbledon and the French Open, the future surely looks bright for the Italian.
