"Hamburger with French fries, one coke & Tiramisu" - Jannik Sinner jokes about how he skipped beers for different Australian Open win celebration

Jannik Sinner opened up about how he celebrated his maiden Grand Slam win. The Italian explained that his way of celebration was different as he refused to indulge in a beer and instead opted for a hearty guilty pleasure meal.

The 22-year-old has been playing high level tennis since a very young age. He has faced several difficult matches in his career where he failed to show the correct temperament and ended up on the losing side.

In the 2023 French Open, he was ousted after an over five hour battle with Daniel Altmaier in the second round. Sinner admitted that his attitude and mindset at the time was not correct. At Wimbledon last year, he faced a straight-set defeat against Novak Djokovic in the semifinal.

However, he recovered this year after defeating the Serb in the Australian Open semifinal. Sinner, in his first-ever Grand Slam final, was 0-2 down and was a set away from defeat. The Italian dug deep and defeated Daniil Medvedev to win his maiden Grand Slam title: the 2024 Australian Open.

When it came to celebrations, he revealed that he likes to celebrate with the people who helped him in his journey.

“The best time I had was flying back with my team. I usually sleep on the flight – but not that night. The plane had a bar and we went there and talked. It’s what I like, sharing the victory with people who helped me get to this point,” Sinner said (via Guardian).

When asked if he drank beer, Sinner refused and opened up about his "different" celebrations.

“My celebrations are different. If I have a good week, I always eat a hamburger with french fries, one Coke and tiramisu or ice cream. In Melbourne, I had everything. That’s my guilty pleasure.”

Jannik Sinner has a changed attitude and he is not one who crumbles under the pressure. Instead, the Italian likes to "dance in the pressure storm".

The 22-year-old opened up about how he takes in the pressure moments during the aforementioned interview. He compared it to the situation of a doctor and claimed that as a tennis player, if he makes a mistake, he gets another chance to win a week later.

“You have to enjoy the pressure because it’s not like we are doctors doing surgery. You make a mistake as a doctor and it can cost a life. We just win or lose and next week you have another chance.”

After withdrawing from the Italian Open due to injury, Jannik Sinner is in Paris, ready to begin his French Open campaign. He plays Christopher Eubanks in the first round on Monday (May 27).
