Italian tennis star, Jannik Sinner, has caught all the spotlight this season. He clinched the biggest victory of his career earlier this year when he won the Australian Open. The 22-year-old defeated Daniil Medvedev in the summit clash to win the title Down Under. With Sinner’s resounding success, there has also been much attention on his family. Sinner has an elder brother, Marc, and it came to light that he is adopted. Recently, Sinner lifted the lid on his relationship with his adopted brother.

Although the elder Sinner sibling is not biologically related to the younger, Sinner shares a strong bond with him. The two often compliment each other, be it their careers or personal lives. Here’s what Sinner said about his relationship with his elder brother, Marc.

Jannik Sinner makes a heartfelt revelation

Last week, Jannik Sinner was in Rotterdam to play in the ATP 500 ABN AMRO Open. Carrying his good form, Sinner captured the title there, defeating Alex de Minaur in straight sets. Further, he was involved in an interview with Vanity Fair, where he talked about his brother.

Sinner said, “At two and a half years old I started skiing because I saw him on the slopes. My brother was my first best friend, he was always sincere and direct. Today we don’t call each other often, but we are close in an incredible way. He always compliments me, even when I lose.”

The reigning Australian Open champion came from a humble background. Both his parents were working to earn a livelihood. Amid this, Sinner had the support of his elder brother. The latter once described the calm nature of Sinner.

Marc Sinner once revealed, “Our parents have always supported us, they told us: if you feel like it, go ahead, otherwise leave it alone. and think of something else. They never decided for us and this is one of his secrets. Jannik? He is a quiet boy, very calm, like our parents.” 

While Sinner is fierce on the court, off the court he is completely the opposite. This was rightly addressed by Marc, who has played an instrumental role in Jannik’s career.
