Siglinde Sinner, mother of tennis star Jannik Sinner, broke her silence with a forceful and determined statement, defending her son from the serious accusations and threats that have been received following his victory over Adrian Mannarino at the 2025 Cincinnati Open. In a moment of great emotion and maternal protection, Siglinde wanted to make it clear that she will not allow anyone to hurt her son, not even with the most violent and unjustified words.
“I understand that tennis is a sport that evokes strong emotions, but when it comes to my son, no one will be able to touch him,” Siglinde said, referring to the threats and harsh criticism Jannik has received from some “anti-fans” in recent weeks. “A father is willing to do anything to protect his son. My responsibility, as a mother, is to make sure my son is safe and can live without fear,” she continued.
Siglinde Sinner’s words conveyed a powerful message, emphasizing that a mother’s love and protection for her son knows no bounds. “My son is everything to me, and if anyone dares to threaten or insult him, I will be willing to defend him by any means,” she added with a tone of determination that shocked fans and the media. “If anyone dares to threaten or insult my son, I am willing to take them to court. My son is my limit; I will not allow anyone to harm him.”
The harsh criticism against Jannik Sinner, which included attacks on his personal life and tennis ability, had a devastating impact on him, plunging him into depression and guilt. “I saw him suffer, and that’s why I decided to speak out. It’s not fair that my son has to deal with this alone,” concluded Siglinde, visibly moved.
Siglinde’s message sparked shock and outrage among Italian and international fans, who expressed their solidarity with Jannik Sinner and his family. Many praised the mother’s strength in defending her son with such determination, while others condemned the unjustified attacks against a young athlete trying to make a name for himself in the world of tennis.
This episode raised important questions about the treatment of tennis players and their families, highlighting how external pressures can significantly affect athletes’ mental health. However, Siglinde left a clear message: no one will touch her child without facing the consequences.
