Roger Federer’s former coach, Ivan Ljubicic, has highlighted Jannik Sinner’s grounded personality as his greatest talent. Praising the World No. 1 for his unwavering composure, Ljubicic remarked, “He doesn’t get excited when he wins and doesn’t make drama when he loses. He does his job, he delivers what he says.” Ljubicic believes this trait will propel Sinner to continued success.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Ljubicic emphasized Sinner’s strong work ethic and consistent nature, which have contributed to his recent achievements, including his first Grand Slam title. He described Sinner as a “wonderful example for young people.”
Sinner himself credits his parents for instilling a positive mindset and work ethic. Reflecting on his youth, he recalled, “I went to a couple of tournaments when I was younger – 16 or 17 – and I lost. And afterwards I called my parents and I wanted to explain what happened. And they said, ‘Yeah, OK, but we have to talk later because we have to work now, OK?’”
He added, “At that point, I understood that obviously results matter, but what really matters is trying to work hard, waking up and going to work and doing it with a smile.” Despite his rise to the top, Sinner maintains that his relationship with family and friends remains unchanged, emphasizing he is still “the same person.”
Sinner’s approach, deeply rooted in his upbringing, is proving to be a key factor in his impressive and ongoing career.
