Jannik Sinner opens up about conversation with Royal kids
Sinner later disclosed that he asked the Royal children what kind of rackets they use to play tennis and signed a couple tennis balls for them.
'In the beginning, I didn't know what to say,' he said at his press conference after the game.
'It's difficult to understand, you know, how you can talk. I always try to talk very natural. I asked the kids if they play tennis and asked them what kind of rackets they play with, these kind of things,' Sinner continued.
Calling their meeting 'amazing,' he said, 'I believe for us tennis players, it's so nice to have them watching us because it makes it even more special.'
'You see how much they care about tennis and the sport itself. It's very prestigious. I've been lucky to meet her and the whole family, and it was a very nice moment.'
Jannik Sinner gets very emotional post Wimbledon win
The 23-year-old, who won the Australian Open in January, suffered a painful absence from the French Open after failing a drugs test last year and receiving a three-month ban.
'Even if I don't cry, it feels emotional because only me and the people who are close to me know exactly what we have been through on and off the court,' he stated.

Like mother, like daughter: Princess Charlotte mirrors Kate Middleton's look at Wimbledon 2025 finale
(Image Credits: Getty Images) The Prince and Princess of Wales' little daughter, Princess Charlotte, has already made her mark as a mini fashion icon. Whether she's wearing sweet florals or a cosy, comforting sweater, the princess has defined a sense of preppy-meets-girly style, which is being sincerely adored by the fashion community across the globe. Princess Charlotte recently made her third Wimbledon appearance this weekend, joining her parents and brother. What stood out was her choice of outfit, a white frilled dress with sleek black piping. The subtle look bore an uncanny resemblance to her mother's outfit from 2022. (Image Credits: Getty Images) However, this was not just another case of outfit twinning, as Charlotte's styling simply had a nod to Kate's past wardrobe and mirrored her mother's personality, blending it so ardently with her own. From the small silver charm bracelet to a pair of shoes, nearly every detail of the little princess's outfit carried a deeper meaning and reference. Charlotte Steals Wimbledon With Priceless Reactions; Kate's Mini-Me Melts Hearts Customised dress with royal history The white summer dress worn by Princess Charlotte was customised by Sarah Burton, the designer responsible for Kate Middleton's 2011 wedding gown. It featured a soft frill detailing around the hemline and had precise black V-line stitching. However, the design elements closely resembled a white Emilia Wickstead dress worn by the Princess of Wales at the Guards Polo Club in 2022. For footwear and accessories, Princess Charlotte wore a pair of Camilla Elphick flats and Finlat & Co sunglasses, which is another uncanny overlap with Kate Middleton's past Wimbledon appearances. Therefore, one can say that the designers and stylists involved with both royals are hinting at a growing style mentorship between the mother and daughter. (Image Credits: Getty Images) What's the story behind the charm bracelet? Princess Charlotte wore a silver Pandora bracelet featuring a charm with a green stone, which is her May birthstone. Whereas the other one is a miniature Nala from 'The Lion King', referencing her love for the character. But there's also a third charm, which features a silver heart paired with an engraved disc, which contains a message from 'someone special', mostly indicating that it's given by her own mother. As we said, like mother, like daughter, it's heartwarming and adorable to witness these fashion links, with an indication that Princess Charlotte is not so little anymore and is being inspired by the Princess of Wales, as she's indeed the epitome of royal grace and sophistication in the household.

Who will get to Career Grand Slam first – Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner?
Which is the one missing trophy from the Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner cabinets? Both Wimbledon finalists and champions of last two editions, are only one Slam away from completing the Career Grand Slam. While Sinner is missing a Roland Garros trophy, something that he memorably fought for earlier this year in a fighting loss, while Alcaraz can get there sooner as he needs an Australian Open crown. Alcaraz won French (2024, 2025), Wimbledon (2023, 2024) after his first US Open in 2022. At the Australian his best showing is a Quarterfinal from last two years. Sinner, on the other hand, has one each of Wimbledon (2025) and US Open (2024), and two of Australians (2024 & 2025). His best at Roland Garros is the incredible final from this year. Alcaraz is closer to getting to the mark in January. Since the Open Era, only five men have achieved the feat: Rod Laver (before Open era), Andre Agassi, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Nadal was the youngest, doing so at the 2010 US Open aged 24. Laver Completed his set at US Open in 1969 at age 31, while Agassi rounded it off with his 1999 win at French Open ehen he was 29. Federer too had Roland Garros in his sights in 2009 when he completed the Career Grand Slam hand at 27, while Nadal wrapped it up a year later in 2010 at US Open. Djokovic who has most Slams fetched up six years later in 2016, with the eluding French Open finally his at 29. Alcaraz, currently 22, can win one of the next two editions of the Australian Open, to get to the youngest mark. Sinner too can at 24, if he triumphs at Roland Garros next year, but he will be older than Nadal was when the Spaniard completed his Career Grand Slam. Sinner will rue botching the three championship points in the Roland Garros final against Alcaraz before falling short in the sensational five-set classic. He was also halfway to winning all four majors in the same season at that juncture but Alcaraz denied him. Laver won all four titles in 1969. Sinner and Alcaraz share last 7 major trophies starting 2024 Australian Open. The duo have lined up another novelty mark – as per ATP, if one of them triumphs at the US Open, it will be the first time two men have claimed all four Slams in two consecutive calendar years since Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in 2006 and 2007, being the only two to accomplish the feat in the Open Era.
