Standard Sinner
Jannik Sinner has a valuable quality: always keeping calm, knowing how to behave in moderation - the key to success of many champions in history.
Not too extreme, speaking in a standard manner and always being a role model in daily life, Sinner is considered by his colleagues to be a role model in training and competition.
His career had a major change about a year ago, when he was found positive for clostebol (banned from competition for 3 months after reaching an agreement to reduce the sentence).
Yet, in both extremes, Sinner remains the same. He behaves in real life as he does in competition: diligent and quiet.
Therefore, the doping scandal did not derail his career, but on the contrary was a stepping stone to move forward.
The defeat in the Roland Garros final, where he almost touched the championship trophy, was considered by Sinner as a lesson to turn his destiny around.
The world's number 1 tennis player constantly mentions work, the path he pursues: we should not indulge in failure when we can still rewrite the story.
“It was a very difficult defeat to accept, but the important thing is to learn from it: what we did right, what we did wrong. We did it, we kept working. That's why this trophy is here,” said Sinner after avenging Carlos Alcaraz and winning Wimbledon 2025.
After the loss to Alcaraz in Paris, Sinner – considered a spiritual student of the “Nadal school” – carefully analyzed what happened and threw himself into relentless training to get back on the pitch.
How did he forget the sadness of Roland Garros? “That loss was no longer on my mind. After Paris, I organized a barbecue and played table tennis with my friends.”
His grass-court season began with a defeat in the opening round of the Halle Open (Germany). “That defeat was not in the plan, but it turned out to be good because I had an extra week of preparation, which was essential to regain my form.”
In the Wimbledon round of 16, he had a tough time against Grigor Dimitrov. However, the Bulgarian suffered a chest injury – when he was leading by two sets – which helped Sinner progress to the final rounds stronger.
“Although I didn't cry, I was very emotional,” he said after winning his fourth Grand Slam title, bringing his total of individual titles to 20.
Money making record
“Only my family and I understand everything I have been through, both on and off the court,” he shared in an emotional hug with his family in the Wimbledon stands.
“The only way to overcome it is to keep improving,” he stressed. “I accepted everything and started training extremely seriously. I didn’t want to fall down.”
Since 2000, only Rafa Nadal (86% win rate) has beaten Sinner (81%) in his first 100 matches at majors, better than Roger Federer (80%), Novak Djokovic (79%) and Andy Murray (77%).
The Wimbledon title gave Sinner his 58th consecutive week as world number one. Since the ATP began its official rankings in August 1973 , only three players have had longer consecutive weeks as world number one: Federer ( 237 weeks ) , Jimmy Connors (160) and Lleyton Hewitt (75).
Sinner's victory was symbolic, as it was the first Wimbledon final in 23 years without Federer, Nadal, Djokovic or Murray. For 21 seasons, at least one of the four has been in the final.
The Italian also made history in prize money: £3m (€3.4m), a record sum at a Grand Slam. Wimbledon increased the prize money by 11% compared to last year.
Coincidentally, Sinner himself also received the highest prize in tennis history when he won the Six Kings Slam – an exhibition tournament in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) – last October: 6 million USD (5.5 million euros).
In 2025 alone, Sinner pocketed 7.1 million euros, out of a total of 34.1 million euros since becoming a professional – just counting prize money, not to mention larger sums from sponsorship deals.
“I’m happy that the work we’ve done has paid off. I think at 23, I’m not at my peak yet. Hopefully I’ll continue to improve, but it’s important to have opponents who push you to do your best every day,” Sinner said.
With exemplary performance, and rival Alcaraz always pushing to the limit, Sinner really has a lot of room to develop.
