Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner hails from South Tyrol, a stunning location in the Dolomites where the Italian star's parents now run a hotel that is a prime location for hikers and skiers
Jannik Sinner has etched his name into the history books at Wimbledon after beating Carlos Alcaraz in a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 triumph to become the first Italian ever to clinch a singles title at the All England Club. Yet, the 23-year-old star, who also gained revenge on Alcaraz for his French Open defeat, didn't linger in the capital.
‌
He swiftly jetted off from London post-victory. The tennis ace, along with his parents, reportedly made a hasty exit from SW19 aboard a private jet.
‌
In a move befitting a world-class athlete, Sinner briefly landed in Italy only to drop his parents off at their opulent hotel before he himself stayed airborne, waving goodbye without stepping foot on the tarmac, and continued on to Nice, France.
‌
Sinner is now set to enjoy some well-deserved downtime back in Monte Carlo, where he resides, while his parents dive straight back into running Haus Sinner, their bed and breakfast nestled at the base of the Dolomites.
Placed in Sexten, within the most easterly valley of South Tyrol, Haus Sinner boasts a prime location.
The establishment's website paints a picture of its idyllic setting: "[The hotel] is characterised by the mountain farms on the southern slopes, the extensive larch meadows, the shady spruce forests and the Nemes Alm, which is rich in alpine rose slopes."
‌
Sinner's parents, Johann and Siglinde, worked hard to help Jannik climb to the top of tennis. Johann used to be a chef at a local ski lodge in Italy when Jannik was young, while Siglinde served as a waitress, reports the Express.
These days, they run the guest house in the shadow of the renowned mountain range, a spot that's been touted as perfect for those keen on hitting the snowy slopes.
‌
If you fancy a stay under the care of the Sinners, you'll likely need to shell out between £300-£500 for a single night, judging by the rates of other nearby accommodations. Haus Sinner has been approached for specifics on their nightly charges, with prices available upon request.
Haus Sinner boasts six different apartments, catering to various group sizes. Each traditional wooden-panelled guest house offers stunning views of the surrounding verdant landscape.
‌
In the summer, guests can take advantage of hiking trails and mountain biking routes, while winter unveils the hotel's main attraction – the ski slopes.
Sinner himself was an avid skier in his younger years, taking daily lessons. After clinching the Australian Open title in January, he shared how his parents allowed him to carve his own path, despite skiing being a significant part of his childhood.
"I wish that everyone could have my parents because they always let me choose whatever I wanted to," he said. "Even when I was younger, I also [played] some other sports and they never put pressure on [me]... I wish that this freedom is possible for as many young kids as possible. Thank you so much [to] my parents."
‌
Fans who wish to visit the hotel in the hope of meeting the four-time Grand Slam winner are unlikely to run into the 23-year-old due to his naturally busy schedule as world No. 1. However, the accommodation says that Sinner does occasionally return to his parents' house for downtime.
The website says: "After great victories and defeats, Jannik always recharges his batteries at home in Sexten. He enjoys spending his few 'tennis-free' days with his parents and brother Mark in the mountains of the Alta Pusteria Valley. Occasionally, he can also be found with friends at the soccer field or simply relaxing in his hometown."
Reports suggest that Sinner will likely head back to Sexten to unwind before he begins his preparations for the US Open, aiming to add another Grand Slam title to his name. The quaint town is now planning to celebrate their Wimbledon champion.
Thomas Summerer, the mayor of Sexten, said: "It's incredible, these are historic moments for all of us, for Sesto, for all of South Tyrol, for all of Italy, but Jannik has so many commitments: thinking of a celebration is very difficult, perhaps we could organise something in the future."
