Siglinde Sinner, mother of tennis star Jannik Sinner, broke her silence with a strong and decisive statement, defending her son from the serious accusations and threats that have targeted Jannik following his victory over Adrian Mannarino at the 2025 Cincinnati Open. In a moment of great emotion and maternal protection, Siglinde wanted to make it clear that she will not allow anyone to harm her son, not even with the most violent and unjustified words.

“I understand that tennis is a sport that evokes strong emotions, but when it comes to my son, no one will be able to touch him,” Siglinde said, referring to the threats and harsh criticism Jannik has received from some “anti-fans” in recent weeks. “A parent is willing to do anything to protect their child. My responsibility, as a mother, is to ensure that my son is safe and can live without fear,” she continued.

Siglinde Sinner’s words delivered a powerful message, emphasizing that a mother’s love and protection for her child knows no bounds. “My son is everything to me, and if anyone dares to threaten or insult him, I will be ready to defend him by any means,” she added, with a tone of determination that shocked fans and the media. “If anyone dares to threaten or insult my son, I am ready to take them to court. My son is my ultimate limit; I will not allow anyone to harm him.”

The harsh criticism leveled at Jannik Sinner, which included attacks on his personal life and his tennis ability, had a devastating impact on him, pushing him into a period of depression and self-blame. “I saw him suffer, and that’s why I decided to speak out. It’s not fair that my son has to deal with this alone,” Siglinde concluded, visibly moved.

Siglinde’s message sparked a reaction of shock and outrage among Italian and international fans, who expressed solidarity with Jannik Sinner and his family. Many praised the mother’s strength in defending her son so resolutely, while others condemned the unjustified attacks against a young athlete trying to make a name for himself in the world of tennis.

This episode raised important questions about the treatment of tennis players and their families, highlighting how external pressures can significantly impact athletes’ mental health. However, Siglinde left a clear message: no one will touch her son without facing the consequences.
