Best tennis player in the world mourns the loss of a close friend

For Jannik, Margith Sinner was more than just an aunt. As his mother’s sister, she played a crucial role in his childhood by looking after him while his parents were at work. “She is a very important person because when I was a child, my parents worked all day.” So I sometimes went to ski races with her. Or she helped me in the summer when my parents were working and I had a few days off. When you’re young, you don’t go to training every day. “That’s why I spend a lot of time with her,” Sünder recalled.

This close relationship has had a profound impact on the current number one in the world of tennis. The family’s obituary states: “It is with sad hearts that we say goodbye to our dear Margith Sinner, Meggi, who has passed away forever in her beloved home.”

Unfortunately, he and his family only had two weeks left with Margith. Sünder learned of her death in Beijing.
