“As a child, I always followed Formula 1,” said Sinner on the sidelines of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. His first memory is associated with Schumacher.
When the German motorsport icon had an accident while skiing at the end of December 2013, it was “a heavy blow” for him: “This episode made it clear to me that life can change in a second.”
The lesson Sinner learned from this? “Never take anything for granted, you have to live day by day and enjoy it with a purpose.” With this maxim, the South Tyrolean made it to number one in the tennis world rankings in 2024.
