World No. 1 Jannik Sinner explained in a recent interview why his parents rarely attend his tennis matches. The comments came ahead of Wimbledon.
Jannik Sinner said his family prefers to give him space during competitions. In a June 22 interview with Vogue, the Italian player noted that his parents have their own jobs and support him without interfering in his professional routine.
Sinner described the family dynamic as one that balances encouragement with independence. He added that at home the topic of tennis is usually avoided in favor of other conversations.
His father Johann works as a chef and has limited time to travel, while his mother Siglinde finds matches stressful and sometimes leaves early. Both have maintained normal lives outside the spotlight despite their son's success.
