Jannik Sinner, dad Hanspeter doesn’t hide pride
Jannik Sinner, all the pride of papà Hanspeter
The words that Jannik Sinner, immediately after the conclusion of the Australian Open, dedicated to his parents certainly did not go unnoticed: in addition to the success in the first Slam of the season è this is precisely one of the greatest reasons for pride of papà Hanspeter, who at the microphones of 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' spoke about his emotions.
"I wasn't surprised by his words, è it's done this way: he learned early the culture of work, commitment and humility'quot; said the papà of the world number 4 ranking. "A great joy, really nice" è then the sentence with which he describes how he felt on Sunday, seeing his son come back two sets behind Daniil Medvedev.
"I can say that to see him play on TV you suffer more; "it was easier to follow him in Indian Wells or at the Finals in Turin" added Hanspeter Sinner again, who then let go of the memory of when Jannik was little and played more sports, such as downhill skiing and soccer: "He was soì already good at all sports as’è good at his job".
The one won at Rod Laver Arena on Sunday è was the 11th tournament won by Jannik Sinner, certainly the most important one being the first at the Slam level. In his career, Sinner has also won a Masters 1000 (Toronto 2023), three ATP 500s (Washington 2021, Beijing and Vienna 2023) and six ATP 250s (Sofia 2020 and 2021, Melbourne and Antwerp 2021, Umag 2022 and Montpellier 2023).
