Jannik Sinner, the rising tennis sensation from Italy, remains grounded despite his growing fame in the world of sports. When asked about the possibility of becoming a star and losing the ability to move around unnoticed, Sinner responded with humility and a touch of humor.
“No, I guess it’s part of what I do, right? The only issue that I have red hair, so it’s easy to recognize me,” he chuckled. “Things change when I have a cap on, so it’s good. But still, I’m not looking for attention off the court. If people recognize me, it is a good feeling, a nice feeling. I guess it’s a good problem to have in one way.”
Acknowledging the changes that fame brings, Sinner reflected on the positives and challenges of being recognized. “In the other way, sometimes when you want to go to eat something normally in a restaurant, it’s also a bit different. I think it’s a good problem to have in one way. Honestly, I don’t care so much how famous I am because I always have done normal things. I am a normal boy or man, becoming a man now. There are some things that change, but in the other way, it’s all good.”
Sinner’s down-to-earth attitude emphasizes his focus on staying true to himself despite the spotlight on his tennis career. His perspective highlights the balance between enjoying the perks of recognition and maintaining a sense of normalcy in his everyday life.
