My son brought glory to our family and to all of Italy.” Sinner’s mother breaks down in a heartbreaking revelation, sharing the silent struggles and tear-filled journey of her son’s painful past before his spectacular victory at Wimbledon 2025 — leaving fans in tears, as the world had been far too cruel to a 24-year-old boy.

A very strong emotion shaken the world of Italian sport yesterday, when the mother of Jannik Sinner, the tennis champion who conquered Wimbledon 2025, let himself go to a deeply touching story, revealing the background of a path made not only of successes, but also of suffering, sacrifices and tears.

A past hidden behind the smile
Behind the always polite smile and Sinner’s peaceful face was hidden a silent battle. The mother told episodes of enormous psychological pressures, moments of despair and also of profound loneliness, especially in the early years of her son’s career, when expectations began to grow up and the young South Tyrolean promise was suddenly in international spotlight.

The economic difficulties and renunciations
The mother also revealed the great economic difficulties faced by the family at the beginning of the Jannik tennis path. Travel, tournaments, expensive training: everything was burden on an already fragile family budget.

The consecration to Wimbledon 2025
And then the magic of Wimbledon 2025 came, when Jannik Sinner raised the trophy to heaven, becoming the first Italian to win the prestigious tournament since the time of Nicola Pietrangeli (even if Pietrangeli did not win it, ed.).

“Seeing him there, on the central field of Wimbledon, was like seeing a son reborn. I cried for the whole game,” the mother confessed. “All of Italy should be proud of him.”
