When asked why he made this decision, Jannik Sinner shared with sincerity and humility:
“Winning on the field gives me great joy, but that joy will not be complete if I keep it only to myself. There are many people who struggle every day to survive. If this money can help ease their burden, even in just a small way, then that is the true meaning of this victory.”
