Jannik Sinner’s father is a chef, and it seems that he had a huge influence on his son’s mindset. Soon after defeating Daniil Medvedev in the ATP Final, the young Italian explained how he has been managing to improve.
This was his interesting statement about improving:
“The first time you make pasta with tomato sauce, maybe it lacks a bit’ of salt, and you add it the second. The third you put fresh cherry tomatoes, the fourth you put basil, and so on and on, until it becomes good; but you should not add too much. I know myself better and better, but now my dish is not perfect. I can still improve a lot”.
