The world No. 2 has reached Sunday&rsquo;s championship clash without dropping a set or surrendering his serve at the ATP Finals since 2023. Yet Johann and Siglinde Sinner will not be present to watch their son chase another season-defining trophy. Though the reason, even in his humorous response, seems ambiguous.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jannik Sinner was asked if any of his family members will be in attendance for his ATP Finals championship match:<br><br>&ldquo;My brother Mark is here, while I don&rsquo;t think Mom and Dad will come.

His parents, who watched him lift the ATP Finals trophy last year and have been regulars at many of his major finals, have opted out of this latest Turin chapter. <em>&ldquo;My brother Mark is here, while I don&rsquo;t think Mom and Dad will come.

In 2023, he lost the final to Novak Djokovic after beating the Serbian in round-robin play earlier in the week.

I previously wrote for Sportskeeda and hold a B.A. and M.A. in History. My journey into sports media began far from the field, rooted in the arts and sciences. Funny enough, I didn\u2019t grow up a sports fan; I used to see it all as just noise. But a fateful writing job introduced me to the world of sports, and what began as a gig quickly became a passion. I understood those voices aren\\'t noise; they\\'re emotions of true sports fans, and now I am one of them, writing with the same energy I once questioned.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/_rudradubey__\/","https:\/\/x.com\/Rudradubey1997"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/rudra\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642525"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=642525"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642525\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":642528,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642525\/revisions\/642528"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/642526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=642525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=642525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=642525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
