In an increasingly attentive world, the words of a mother resonate like a punch in the stomach: real, sincere and painfully necessary. Siglinde Sinner, mother of the Italian champion Jannik Sinner, broke the silence and has decided to respond with strength and dignity to the attacks received in the last few days.
It all started during a highly anticipated match, when some young fans of Carlos Alcaraz, present in the stands, would have addressed offensive words directly to Mrs. Sinner, targeting her past as a waitress. An unacceptable behavior that made the vase overflow.
“We don’t care what work we do, we have always raised our son with integrity,” said Siglinde, visibly shaken but decided. With these words, the mother of the Italian number one not only defended her past, but also highlighted a powerful and universal message: the dignity of work and the importance of family values.
In an exclusive interview with Italian media today, Mrs. Sinner explained that she and her husband have always worked hard to offer Jannik a solid education, based on respect, commitment and humility. “Being a waitress has never taken away from me as a mother or as a person. It was an honest job that helped to pay the studies and training of my son,” he said pride.
But the strongest words arrived at the end of the interview. Ten words. Short. Direct. Sharp: “Who despises the roots of others, are afraid of their own.” A phrase that has inflamed social media, with thousands of users who expressed solidarity and admiration towards Mrs. Sinner.
In the world of sport, it is often forgotten that behind every successful athlete there is a family, there are sacrifices, sleepless nights, humble but fundamental jobs. The story of Jannik Sinner is also the story of his parents, of a mother who served at the tables with a smile as she dreamed of a better future for her son.
While Jannik continues to write important pages in the history of world tennis, his mother’s words become a manifesto against prejudice and in favor of the dignity of every profession. And today, more than ever, the world needs this type of truth.
The lesson is clear: there is no work that can diminish the moral greatness of a family that grows a child with love, discipline and integrity. And in the case of the Sinner, the results speak for themselves.
