WATCH: Jannik Sinner’s mother Siglinde sheds tears, father Hanspeter looks on proudly as Italian receives year-end World No. 1 trophy

Jannik Sinner's mother, Siglinde, was brought to tears when he received the Year-End World No. 1 trophy in Turin. Sinner is competing in the third ATP Finals of his career and will finish the season as World No. 1 for the first time.

The Italian has won seven titles this season, including the Australian Open and the US Open. Sinner was presented with the Year-End No. 1 trophy on Monday by ATP Chairman and fellow Italian Andrea Gaudenzi. He was also joined on the podium by German legend Boris Becker.

Amid an emotional atmosphere, Sinner's parents, Hanspeter and Siglinde Sinner, were in the stands of the Inalpi Arena. His mother was captured in a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), emotionally shedding a tear, while his father looked on proudly as the 23-year-old received the trophy.

After receiving the trophy, the Italian said the moment meant a lot to him. He thanked the crowd and appreciated his family's sacrifices when he was younger.

“It’s a nice feeling, [it is] special sharing these kinds of moments here in Italy with the crowd. This would not be possible without all the people I have around and especially these kind of people I want to keep forever, because it has a journey from the beginning.” Sinner said

“I just heard that my mom was crying, which is something very cute,” Sinner said. “Only they know from my early age and stages, when I was around 13, how many sacrifices we made as a family” he added

After defeating Daniil Medvedev in the 2024 Australian Open final, Jannik Sinner spoke about the freedom his parents gave him to choose his own path. He wished everyone had parents like his, who let him make his own decisions concerning his career.

“I wish that everyone could have my parents because they always let me choose whatever I wanted to,” Jannik said. “Even when I was younger, I also [played] some other sports and they never put pressure on [me] ... I wish that this freedom is possible for as many young kids as possible. Thank you so much [to] my parents.” - Jannik Sinner said

He also shared that he was rarely at home and spent most of his time skiing, playing football, or tennis.

“I used to go always to ski because I had ski training from 2 to 4,” Jannik said. When I came back around 4:30 my mom used to be at home, but I went to play tennis sometimes a little bit or football so I was not that much at home,” he added

Sinner played his first round-robin match at the 2024 ATP Finals where he defeated Alex de Minaur 6-3, 6-4. He will next face Taylor Fritz on Tuesday in a rematch of the 2024 US Open final.
