The excitement levels of the crowd in Monaco experienced a quick surge as Jannik Sinner stepped into the premises of Monte Carlo. Fans are celebrating the entry of the guy who lived in Monaco while he was just 18 and came back as a champion. For his part, Sinner is expressing his thoughts about the city and taking a deep dive into a thoughtful difference between tennis and his personal life.

Indulging in multiple conversations amid his presence in Monaco, the rising star recently revealed his perspective on maintaining a balance between his professional career and private life. Despite a remarkable year filled with massive feats including the ATP Finals, Australian Open, Rotterdam, and the Miami Open, Sinner highlighted the importance of keeping a normal life separate from the spotlight of tennis.

“The main thing as far as I’m concerned is to live happy and healthy. I want to continue to have a normal life outside of tennis,” Sinner expressed, reflecting on his parents’ guidance. Along with that, he also narrated a life lesson from his parents, saying, “My parents made me understand that there is work and then there is normal life, private life. And we need to keep them separate.” (translated using Google Translate)

Jannik Sinner prefers to keep his relationship away from the limelight

This wasn’t the first time when Jannik Sinner expressed his thoughts about keeping his personal and professional lives separate. His relationship with model and influencer Maria Braccini has been known to the fans for a long time. However, being true to his values, the tennis star denied bringing it out in the open.

“Whether or not I am with a girl will never be known on social media, because I want to keep my private life private,” the 22-year-old said. Along with that, he also highlighted the fact that none of his personal connections, be it his girlfriend or family members can be seen on social media.

“I don’t need to post a photo to show whether I’m engaged. I never posted pictures with my parents, maybe one with my brother,” he added. As the tennis star continues to move ahead with his philosophy of not exposing his relations publicly, it continues to remain one of the differentiating factors of the tennis star.
