After the victory of Jannik Sinner in Wimbledon, during an exciting interview, the father of the young champion revealed a “special story” that deeply touched the hearts of all those present. Sinner’s father told how, years earlier, Jannik’s grandfather had been chosen by a legendary tennis player as his pupil, but had decided to refuse the opportunity to devote more time to the family.

This grandfather’s decision not only had a profound impact on his family’s life, but also gave Jannik and his family the opportunity to develop his careers in a free and autonomous way, without external pressure. The grandfather, despite having received a unique opportunity, chose to put the importance of the family and the growth of loved ones in first place, sacrificing for them a career that could have become legendary.

When the father shared this story, the young Sinner was unable to hold back the tears. Moved and visibly excited, he dedicated five words to his grandfather who deeply affected all those present. In a moment of sincere gratitude, Jannik has pronounced:“Grandfather, thanks for everything, I love you”.

These words, short but full of meaning, managed to express all the affection and respect that Jannik felt for his grandfather, who had made an incredible sacrifice for the good of his family. Sinner’s emotion was tangible, and the entire room fell into a silence full of feeling, while the young tennis player let his tears spoke instead of words.

The choice of grandfather, who had refused an extraordinary opportunity for the good of his family, had a profound impact on Jannik. Today, with his victory in Wimbledon, Sinner has shown that family love and the sacrifices carried out for loved ones can be the foundation of success, as much as hard work and determination.

The story of Sinner’s grandfather, with his decision to put his family in front of the fame, not only defined an important chapter of Jannik’s life, but also transmitted a universal message: the real success is not measured only in victories, but also in the sacrifices and choices we make for those we love. The words of Jannik, pronounced with the heart, are destined to remain in the memory of anyone who has had the privilege of listening to them.
