“I want to protect the people closest to me, keeping them out of this. I see it as a small task to carry out, almost a duty: they helped me, when I was young, to gain self-confidence, and today in some way I want to protect them,” Sinner told Vanity Fair.

He, however, added that love is a beautiful thing when you find the right person. Sinner also alluded to the fact that many successful tennis players had spouses and kids.

“No. Of course it’s not easy, I travel around a lot and during tournaments I’m very focused. But I think it’s a beautiful thing when you find the right love. Like for everyone. And then, if you think about it, the best tennis players in the world all have wives and children,” he said.
