Introducing Mark Sinner, the sibling of tennis star Jannik Sinner

In the world of tennis, Italian sensation Jannik Sinner is making waves as he competes in the U.S. Open final. As he prepares for this significant match, his older brother, Mark, offers his support from Imola, a town near Bologna, Italy.

Mark, a fire brigade instructor in South Tyrol, has been a constant source of encouragement for Jannik. Despite the significant skill difference between them, Mark has always been proud of Jannik's accomplishments.

Jannik was adopted by Johann and Siglinde two years before his birth. His brother, Mark, is also part of this loving family. The brothers' relationship, according to Mark, is "like that of most brothers." However, their busy schedules often keep them apart.

During Jannik's successful run at the Italian Open in Rome, he took a moment to thank Mark for watching Formula 1 in Imola, instead of attending his tennis matches. This heartfelt gesture underscores the bond between the two brothers.

This year, Jannik has already claimed victories at the Wimbledon and Australian Open. However, a defeat at the French Open earlier this year has not deterred him. Now, he sets his sights on a back-to-back U.S. Open title.

Mark, although not present on the tennis court, is undoubtedly cheering Jannik on. The brothers keep in touch almost daily, updating each other on their lives. When Jannik can, he retreats to his hometown of Sesto in the Italian Dolomites to see his family.

Despite the distance and differing interests, the bond between Jannik and Mark remains strong. As Jannik steps onto the U.S. Open court, he knows he has the support of his family, including Mark, who watches his Formula 1 races with pride.
