Jannik Sinner, world No. 2, delivered a playful answer when asked if his family would attend the ATP Finals final in Turin. After defeating Alex De Minaur in a tight semifinal, Sinner explained that while his brother Mark was present, his parents Johann and Siglinde would not be making the trip. “My brother Mark is here, while I don’t think Mom and Dad will come. They have some things to do at home… apparently that’s more important!” Sinner said with a laugh, as reported by journalist Giovanni Pelazzo.
A simple family life
Sinner has often described his family as “very simple.” His parents run a ski lodge in the Dolomites and prefer to stay close to his grandparents, which makes traveling to his matches more difficult. Despite their absence, Sinner has emphasized that he always feels their support. “Whether they are in the stands or watching on TV, I feel their support,” he has said in past interviews.
Past appearances at key moments
Although they may miss some tournaments, Sinner’s parents have been present for several of his biggest career milestones. They were in attendance for his ATP Finals triumph in 2024 and his emotional Wimbledon victory in 2025. At one point, Sinner even joked about superstitions tied to his mother’s presence in the stands, though he later dismissed them as unfounded.
Sinner’s dominance in Turin
On court, Sinner has been unstoppable this week. His victory over De Minaur extended his indoor hard-court winning streak to 30 matches. He has not dropped a set at the ATP Finals since losing to Novak Djokovic in the 2023 championship match and has yet to surrender a single service game at this year’s event.
Looking ahead to the final
Sinner is now set to face either world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz or Canada’s Félix Auger-Aliassime in Sunday’s final. A win would make him only the fourth man this century to defend the ATP Finals title, joining Lleyton Hewitt, Roger Federer, and Djokovic. Speaking courtside, Sinner kept his reflections simple. “I’m very happy. This is the last event of the year, so it’s great to finish this way,” he said. “It was a very tough match, especially the beginning of the first set. I tried to be aggressive, which worked well.”
With his humor off the court and dominance on it, Sinner heads into the final with confidence, even if his parents will be cheering from afar.
