Sinner's Parents: Why They Skip Tournaments
17 Feb
Summary
- Sinner's parents attend tournaments infrequently due to family obligations.
- He trusts his parents implicitly to support him from home.
- Sinner is currently competing in the Qatar Open after the Australian Open.
Jannik Sinner, the World No. 2, has shared insights into why his parents, Johann and Siglinde, do not frequently attend his tennis tournaments. Sinner explained that he maintains a relaxed relationship with his family, understanding that they have their own lives while he navigates his demanding career on the road.
While he wishes his parents could be present more often, Sinner acknowledges the situation with his grandparents back home as the primary reason. He believes his parents trust his maturity to handle challenges independently, valuing their faith in him. His father notably attended the 2025 Wimbledon Finals.
Currently, Sinner is participating in the 2026 Qatar Open. This follows his semifinal exit at the Australian Open, where he was defeated by Novak Djokovic. Sinner has started strongly in Doha, defeating Tomas Machac in his opening match and is set to face Alexei Popyrin next.
