The win of Jannik Sinner is not only to him and his family but also to the people of the town where he was born and that is Sesto near Austria. However, the people of the town could not celebrate his victory nor could he with his townspeople because of a tragic accident that took place there.

A woman and her 2 sons died in the accident, which has created an atmosphere of sadness in the town. Owing to this situation, Sinner decided to make a sacrifice and not celebrate with his family after his Australian Open success.

But there was a tragedy, with an accident where three people died. I don’t want to go to Sesto now for this reason, celebrating there is absolutely not the case, so I have decided to stay here in Rome.”

So, for now, he will be staying put in Rome and not continue this celebration. Even the Mayor of Sesto has delayed the honorary celebration for Sinner due to the tragedy.
