Jannik Sinner’s aunt, to whom the tennis player had dedicated his US Open victory in New York on Sunday, September 8, passed away on Saturday. Margith Rauchegger, sister of his mother Siglinde, was 56 years old and was ill. She was the first thought of the world number 1 after his triumph over Taylor Fritz: «I want to dedicate this title to my aunt who is not well, I don’t know how much longer she will live»
Sinner, when does he play in Beijing? The draw, the ATP ranking, the points to climb: he will still be number 1 in the world
After the tournament, Jannik Sinner immediately returned to Italy with a flight to Malpensa. From there, he went straight to South Tyrol with the desire to embrace his aunt one last time before she passed away. Margith had been very important to him and his brother, taking care of them when their parents had to work. «If there is one thing I want to wish everyone, it is health, even though it is a wish that cannot always be made», concluded the Italian champion.
Meanwhile, the Italian champion, world number 1, has arrived in China, where he will take part in the two tournaments in Beijing and Shanghai before returning to Europe for the ATP Finals and the Davis Cup finals.
