The gesture that moved all of Italy
Jannik Sinner, fresh from winning Wimbledon 2025, surprised not only with his extraordinary performance on the court but also with a gesture of generosity that has reverberated around the world. During a press conference held just minutes after his triumph, the South Tyrolean champion publicly announced that he will donate a significant portion of his prize money—a sum estimated at around €2.5 million—to support projects providing shelter and medical care throughout Italy.
A champion off the pitch too
From San Candido to the heart of Italy
“I have never forgotten my roots,” Sinner explained. Born in San Candido, Trentino-Alto Adige, the tennis player was raised with values of humility, solidarity, and respect. His gesture was greeted with enormous enthusiasm, not only by the sports community but also by associations, charities, and national institutions.
Concrete initiatives for real change
According to sources close to the athlete, the funds will be allocated to:
-
Creation of temporary housing for homeless people
-
Strengthening mobile clinics for free medical care
-
Support for organizations that offer psychological and health support to the most vulnerable
The reactions: between emotion and inspiration
The world of sport applauds
Several athletes, including Matteo Berrettini, Novak Djokovic, and even Rafael Nadal, praised Sinner’s gesture, calling it a “rare example of humanity.” Social media exploded with messages of support, admiration, and gratitude.
Public opinion: “A golden boy”
There was no shortage of emotional comments from ordinary citizens. “Jannik makes us proud to be Italian,” wrote one user on X. “Not only did he win Wimbledon, but he won our hearts.”
A legacy that goes beyond trophies
With this gesture, Sinner not only consolidates his image as a sports champion, but also builds a moral legacy that extends far beyond tennis. At a time when the world needs positive role models, his decision represents a beacon of hope.
Conclusion: the greatest victory
His Wimbledon victory will go down in the tennis history books, but perhaps Jannik Sinner’s true victory is demonstrating that a champion’s greatness is measured first and foremost in the heart. And in this, the young Italian has already conquered the world.
