Jannik Sinner's mom, Siglinde Sinner, is the queen of reactions! While Sinner rarely shows emotions while competing, his mom is the exact opposite of him when she watches him play from the player's box.
She just cannot watch her son play without getting extremely anxious. And on several occasions, whenever she saw him struggle, she left the court. Sinner, on multiple occasions, has expressed his wish to see his parents in his box often, but his mother's presence also causes 'problems', all thanks to her anxious gestures.
Sinner beat Casper Ruud 6-4, 6-4 in the Italian Open final. And later, the 24-year-old, during his appearance on Che Tempo Che Fa, joked about his mom's reaction and also expressed his surprise at seeing her staying in his box throughout the match because she had left the court when he was struggling during his semifinal against Daniil Medvedev.
The problem is that I could see it from the court too… It's already a miracle that my mother has stayed.
Jannik Sinner saidThe reason why his parents don't frequently come to watch his matches is that they want to live a 'normal' life in South Tyrol and spend a lot of time with his grandparents.
Sinner has been playing non-stop tennis since the Indian Wells Masters. Next is the Roland Garros, but the World No.1 is greatly in need of rest, and he will be spending quality time with his family without thinking about tennis.
Sinner has now become the second man, after Novak Djokovic, to complete the Career Golden Masters. He, in fact, is also the youngest man to achieve the feat.
Sinner has improved his head-to-head record over the Norwegian ace to a perfect 5-0. Ruud, the 2025 Madrid Open winner, was chasing his second Masters 1000 title. For Sinner, it was his 10th title in this category. Sinner is also the second man, after 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal, to win the three Masters 1000s on clay in the same year.
Jannik Sinner finished as the runner-up in Rome last year, losing in straight sets to Carlos Alcaraz. Now that he's the winner of all nine Masters 1000s, Sinner was asked what it meant for him to complete the Career Golden Masters in front of the home fans and Italian President Sergio Mattarella.
There is no better place to complete this achievement. This tournament has always been very special to me. Since 2019, when I debuted here on this court, I have felt a very particular attention and emotions. Very positive, but different. I think that for an Italian, it is one of the most special places where we can play tennis. Winning here at least once in my career means a lot to me.
Jannik Sinner said at the press conferenceIn Paris, in the absence of Carlos Alcaraz, Sinner will be the heavy favorite to become the seventh man in the Open Era to complete the Career Grand Slam. After Paris, Sinner's next destination will not be Halle but Wimbledon. Sinner withdrew from the Halle Open, where he lifted his career's first grass-court title in 2024 but couldn't defend it last year, losing in the second round to eventual champion Alexander Bublik.
In Wimbledon last year, Sinner stopped Alcaraz from completing the hat-trick with a four-set win in the final. If Sinner wins at Roland Garros, he will also be completing the Surface Slam.
The Roland Garros kicks off on May 24th. At the Australian Open this year, Sinner failed to complete the three-peat, losing to eventual runner-up Novak Djokovic in the semifinals.
