5 MINUTES FA: “Please be understanding for my son” — Jannik Sinner’s mother wept as she explained the reason for the defeat, generating empathy among fans in Italy. “Sinner, my son, suffered psychological problems and unstable health during the match, which lasted almost six hours, which prevented him from playing at his best. I’m speaking out so everyone can understand, and I hope you can support Sinner, even though he lost in the Roland Garros final.”
Jannik Sinner’s mother broke her silence and revealed the psychological and physical difficulties the young tennis player faced during the historic Roland Garros final, the longest in tennis history, lasting almost six hours. With a trembling voice and teary eyes, Sinner’s mother asked everyone for understanding for her son’s difficulties, who was unable to reach his full potential due to serious psychological and health problems that manifested during the match.
The match, in which our favorite faced one of the most feared opponents on the circuit, was a true psychological and physical test. The length of the match, unprecedented in a final, tested Sinner’s body and mind. His mother recounted how her son gave his all, but his psychological and health conditions prevented him from playing at his best.
“We deeply regret the defeat,” said his mother, visibly emotional. “But I want everyone to know that Jannik gave it his all. It’s not easy, especially when you’re facing immense physical and mental pressure. His body couldn’t take it anymore, and his mind was exhausted. I ask for your understanding.”
The young Italian fought until the very end, but the fatigue accumulated during the endless hours of play and the psychological difficulties arising from the intense pressure of a Grand Slam final got the better of him. Despite this, Sinner continued to fight resolutely, trying to maintain his focus and determination, but without being able to close out the match.
With her heart in her hand, the mother concluded: “Jannik is a young athlete with a bright future ahead of him. I ask that you not judge him solely by this defeat. I hope everyone can understand what he’s been through and can continue to support him in his next steps.”
His appeal has deeply moved many fans and tennis enthusiasts, who have unconditionally supported Sinner. Despite the disappointment of the defeat, the Sinner family remains positive and determined to see their son grow and face new challenges with the same passion and dedication that have always distinguished him.
