During the Supertennis Awards, Italy’s Jannik Sinner dropped a beautiful comment about his team member, which is his father, Johan Sinner. Jannik commented-“Since I left home I haven’t had much time with my parents. My father has been working for over 40 years, but in the last two years he was a bit down. I wanted to get him out of that situation, so that he could find himself and show him how I live.” 

Sinner left his home at 14 years of age to pursue his goals in professional tennis. That must have kept him away from his parents for long. Now that Sinner has a reputed tennis career, his decision to include his dad in his team to keep him closer has been applauded by all of his fans.

Sinner said-“He likes it. Cooking is his life, and I feel happy. I left home when I was 14, we spent too little time together. So let’s try to recover,”
