“3 Times” — Sinner opens up on life, failures and his biggest moments

Jannik Sinner gave fans a different side of himself in a recent vlog with coach Darren Cahill, mixing humor with honest reflections on his journey.

The light moment came when Cahill pressed him about his motorbike test:

Darren: “How many times have you failed your motorbike license?”
Jannik: “Why do you bring this up?”
Darren: “How many times?”
Jannik: “We have to be specific”
Darren: “How many times?”
Jannik: “3 times”

Away from the jokes, Sinner also spoke about what his life could have looked like outside tennis.

“Realistically, I would maybe work in a kitchen with my dad. He’s a cook, he used to be a cook. I couldn’t see myself being a pro ski racer because of certain reasons. I believe something realistic could be working in the kitchen with my dad & having bigger ambitions there.”

He then reflected on the moments that have defined his career so far.

“For me there are two moments. One when I reached #1 in 2024. The other one was when I won Wimbledon. That for me, it was not even a dream. It was unrealistic when I was young to win such a big tournament. The more you go on, you believe in yourself, you try to do better. Winning that title with my parents there, my brother, great friends… it was for sure the happiest moment I’ve ever had on a tennis court.”
