Tiger Woods' former coach, Hank Haney, has been keeping a close eye on the 2025 French Open it seems. It was the 124th edition of the tournament, and Carlos Alcaraz won the final after a hard match-up against Jannik Sinner. Sinner initially held a two-set advantage but eventually got overpowered by the Spaniard.

Jannik Sinner, who has a net worth of $30 million (according to Celebrity Net Worth), led by two sets to love and had three championship points which he failed to convert. However, despite such a heartbraking loss, Sinner maintained an upbeat attitude, which Hank Haney respects.

Haney, Tiger Woods' longtime swing instructor, recently took to his X account to discuss Sinner's attitude. He shared a video of the 23-year-old player's post-match press conference. In the video, Sinner was discussing how this loss was caused by a mental matchup, and that while it wasn't his day today, he might have a better chance the next time.

Sinner explained in the video:

"You cannot compare this match with other matches, I believe, so physically I was quite fine, of course, Tired, he was tired too, you know, we could see, so it was physical match, was mental match, so what can you do, you know, now it's, now knowing the result, it's what it is, you know, you can't really change it. So I'm still happy to be part of this match."

To this, Hank Haney responded:

Tiger Woods was very successful under Hank Haney. Despite this, some controversies finally led to them partying ways with each other.

Woods' next major triumph came at the 1999 PGA Championship when he was 23 years old.
