“Only they know… how many sacrifices we made as a family” – Jannik Sinner addresses his family upon winning year-end World No. 1 trophy

On Monday, November 11, Jannik Sinner received the year-end World No. 1 trophy for the first time in his career. He accepted the trophy in front of his father Hanspeter, mother Siglinde, and brother Marc – a rare appearance made by the Sinner family.

His mother turned emotional during the ceremony and was spotted crying. The World No. 1 addressed it during an interview later:

“I just heard that my mom was crying, which is something very cute!” he told TennisTV. “Only they know from my early stages, when I was around 13, how many sacrifices we made as a family also… We would have never thought that we’d have this [year-end World No. 1 trophy] at home at some point.”

Reflecting on his journey to achieving one of the most prestigious titles of his career, Jannik Sinner credited his growth as both a player and a person:

“You know, these are really only dreams. And then slowly you try to improve as a player, as a person and now I am standing here with one of the, if not the most special trophies I have. This is amazing because this is an achievement over 52 weeks. So I am very happy,” he said.

Sinner will continue his phenomenal run at the ATP Finals with a semifinal clash against Casper Ruud on Saturday, November 16. This will be the third encounter between the duo with the Italian leading the head-to-head 2-0.
