Jannik Sinner's mother Siglinde went through an emotional rollercoaster while watching the 2025 French Open final. Her animated reactions during Sinner's tense match with Carlos Alcaraz have drawn sympathetic reactions from tennis fans.
The highly anticipated Major final between Sinner and Alcaraz more than lived up to the hype, as the duo engaged in a thrilling battle that lasted five hours and 29 minutes, marking the longest French Open final in history. Although the Italian won the first two sets and took a commanding lead in the contest, Alcaraz fought back from the brink of defeat to claim a 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(10-2) victory and clinch his fifth Grand Slam title.
Carlos Alcaraz's victory was made all the more extraordinary by him fending off three championship points in the fourth set, much to the dismay of Jannik Sinner's mother. Siglinde was captured appearing on the verge of tears when the World No. 1 let his third championship point slip away.
