Achieving glory comes with some obligations, such as attending to the media and offering interviews reflecting on the experience. Jannik Sinner does this with sincerity and good humor, offering interesting thoughts on what it means to him to have won Wimbledon 2025 and what aspects he is most proud of.

Well-deserved success, hard-earned and to be enjoyed now. Jannik Sinner reached the sky this Sunday in London with the achievement of his Wimbledon 2025 title and, in a conversation with TennisChannel, he shared his feelings. He attributed a great deal of his accomplishments to the family and work environment he has, while also talking about the rivalry with Carlos Alcaraz and what it means to him to share the court and objectives with the Spanish player.

"Many things went through my mind when winning the title, such as how challenging the last months have been. Seeing my parents excited and enjoying it means a lot to me, it's the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me. I came here eager to give my best and the week before the tournament, I trained like I had never done before, I believe they were the best practice sessions of my life. That it paid off is a dream come true," declared the Italian.

When asked how he found the fuel to recover so quickly from what happened at Roland Garros, the current world number 1 is clear. "From the first moment, I tried to accept what happened, but it took me some time. The most important thing was to keep believing in myself and that the hard work would pay off. My environment has been decisive. Having people around you who understand you, love you, and strive to help you improve is fantastic," he admitted.

"I am proud of many things I have done recently, but most of all, that success has not changed me as a person, it never will. My top priority is to be a good person, and I feel very fortunate to have a family and work team that instill such positive ethical values in me. The main thing is to keep striving to be better and enjoy the journey. I am only 23 years old, I want to play for another 10 or 15 years, so it will be a long journey that is best faced with a smile," commented Sinner, who spoke about Carlos Alcaraz.

The rivalry that the Italian and the Spanish are forging could mark a before and after in the history of this sport. "It's great to have Carlos as a rival because we learn from each other in every match and push ourselves beyond our limits. Facing each other is very motivating, and the best part is that we have a great relationship off the court," commented Jannik Sinner who will seek new successes in the North American hardcourt tour, where he is a top favorite.
