After a grueling five-set classic against Carlos Alcaraz in the Roland Garros final, Jannik Sinner was seen walking through the Player’s Lounge with a familiar calm that belied the physical and emotional toll of the match. What happened next was both humorous and strangely revealing. Coach Darren Cahill, who has long observed Sinner’s quiet intensity and quirky rituals, noticed him zero in on a particular target: the jar of candy sitting idly on a corner table.
Without hesitation, Sinner picked up the entire jar—not just a handful—and tucked it under his arm with the same steely composure he brings to his returns down the line. Cahill, watching from across the room, couldn’t help but laugh. This wasn’t the first time his protégé had expressed a post-match craving in such an unabashed way.
It was a moment that pulled back the curtain on the usually stoic world of elite tennis. The physical feat was done, but here was Sinner, just 22 years old, indulging in something sweet and simple. The jar of candy became a kind of light-hearted punctuation to an otherwise intense day, shared and replayed behind the scenes by players and coaches who understood just how much these small comforts matter after center-court chaos.
