Jannik Sinner reveals why he gave his Australian Open trophy to his parents in Italy instead of taking it to own apartment

Jannik Sinner added to his ever-growing trophy cabinet by winning the 2025 Australian Open on Sunday, January 26. The Italian played a fantastic match against Alexander Zverev, beating him 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-3 to cap off an amazing two weeks in Melbourne.

It’s the second year in a row that he has won the Australian Open, with this trophy being the third Grand Slam trophy he has won this year. After a successful title defense Down Under, the 23-year-old continues to posit the case for being the best men’s player on the circuit.

While speaking to Barbara Schett of Eurosport after the match, Sinner disclosed the pragmatic reasons behind sending the Australian Open trophy to his parents back home. Mentioning how he lives in Monaco and it’s not the most spacious place, Sinner said:

“My apartment in Monte Carlo is quite small, so I’ll leave this one safe at my parents’ house. I’m much more at peace if it stays there!”

Jannik Sinner has always been rather humble and doesn’t make a big fuss about a lot of things. He’s described himself as quite normal many times, hailing from a rather modest background
