Who are Jannik Sinner’s parents? Meet dad Johann and mom Siglinde

Jannik Sinner did not grow up with tennis courts in his backyard. He grew up with mountains. Born in Innichen in the Italian Dolomites on August 16, 2001, Sinner was a competitive skier until he was 13, when he quietly swapped the slopes for a racquet and never looked back.
