Jannik Sinner has long been nicknamed "the robot" in the tennis world because of his calm personality and rarely showing emotions on the court. However, his journey to the top at Wimbledon 2025 has painted a completely new portrait of the Italian tennis player: a Wimbledon champion with a deep and emotional inner self.

Loneliness, Tears and Explosion

Especially in his journey to win Wimbledon this year, fans witnessed Sinner show more emotions than ever before. From the feeling of loneliness when being punished for doping that made many colleagues shun him, to the tears because of the painful defeat to Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros that made him lose sleep.

And now at Wimbledon 2025, a completely new Sinner has emerged, no longer the "robot" of the past.

In the dramatic final match against Alcaraz, after each missed shot or lost point, Sinner turned straight to the coaching staff, constantly blaming himself. This was an extremely rare image for a player who always kept his composure.

Not only that, his emotional outbursts were also evident when he won important points. People saw him shouting loudly in excitement - an action that was almost non-existent in the "robot" Sinner's playing style before.

Breaking the "robot" moniker

The "robot" Sinner is not always perfect, or invincible as people often label him. He has his moments of mistakes, not a machine programmed to destroy opponents without any errors.

There were times when he collapsed, falling into a life-or-death situation. Typically, in the match against Dimitrov in the fourth round of Wimbledon, he lost 2 sets, but was lucky to win thanks to his opponent's injury.

In response to negative comments that he was lucky to advance, Sinner remained silent and continued to prove his class with top performances. However, that does not mean he is emotionless.
After the difficult moments, Sinner shared that he struggled a lot to overcome, and it was the encouragement from his loved ones that gave him the strength to stand up. That is proof that behind the cold exterior is a deep inner self, a person full of emotions, knowing sadness, knowing disappointment, and then turning that into motivation to overcome challenges.

These candid moments not only debunk the "robot" nickname, but also show a more human, relatable side of Jannik Sinner.

Challenges and failures have tempered the Italian tennis player. They have helped him become stronger and more mature in expressing his emotions. These are the factors that have contributed to creating the talented Wimbledon champion, making fans love and admire him even more.
