Jannik Sinner says his parents are a huge inspiration to him, ‘I just try to be a little bit like them, you know, because then I know that I'm a good person’
“Today in Spain is Mother's National Day. I know that maybe in Italy it's in one week or so. You talk about your family before… and I want to ask you… what is your mother for you like? Not only as a tennis player but as a person that will live with your family.”
Jannik: “I consider myself very lucky. Lucky because when I was 13 I made a choice to leave home and to go to a center to practice.
I think this for parents is very difficult.. especially for a mother, you know, to accept that in a way.. to just go and leaving home… I think it was tough for me, but it was for sure more tough for parents because they also would like to see the kid growing up.
I missed out a little bit of time, spending time with my parents. I would like to catch up as much as I can.
Obviously at home, grandma and grandpa, the parents of my mom, they're still both alive. I understand her very much that she wants to stay at home and spend as much time as possible with them. But I also would like to have more time with family.
It's great to see Carlos for example traveling with family and brother and I think he's doing very well.
Because when somebody is not there anymore.. then you regret it. So hopefully I can have some more time with my parents and the people I love.. and also with my brother and friends. Because things can change.
So she's definitely a role model and I'm very happy to have my mom… and very happy to have my dad.. and they are a true inspiration for me. I just try to be a little bit like them, you know, because then I know that I'm a good person.” 🥹

"I would love to tell that it's me, in the same time I know how hard it is because I've been through one time (...) Carlos not here is still something we need to talk about"
