Jannik Sinner’s achievements
The 23-year-old star, Jannik Sinner won the US Open with an 11-match win streak, who secured victory in the Australian Open in January this year. He has made it to the list where Flavia Pennetta won the women’s singles championship in 2015, both of them becoming the only Italians to have marked their names in the said championships.
Sinner said, “This title for me means so much because the last period of my career was really not easy. There is my team who supports me every day, the people who are close to me. I love tennis. I practice a lot for this kind of stage, but I also realize that off the court there is a life”.
The tennis champion dedicated his title to his aunt because he told that she was not feeling well. He was scared to lose as she was dear to him and wanted to spend more time with her. He was not sure how much more time of life he could be with her but wanted to dedicate his title to her as an effort to share positive moments.
The reason Jannik Sinner won the US Open and dedicated to his aunt
