Jannik Sinner Breaks Silence on US Open Security After Young Fan Tries to Steal His Belongings

Wouldn’t you love it if your favorite tennis star gave you their towel, or cap, or a signed ball? But when Jannik Sinner tried to gift a towel after his victory over Alexander Bublik, the gesture took a shocking turn. One fan went too far, reaching into the world No. 1’s bag, forcing security to step in. And when the dust settled, Sinner’s response to the incident left everyone talking. And he had a lot to say about the security at the 2025 US Open. 

During the post-match press conference, a reporter pointed at the incident and wondered if such incidents ever got frustrating for the Italian. And if he had ever faced such unpleasant behavior in the past? Sinner claimed that it was the first time that someone had tried to unzip his bag and steal from him. He admitted that he had checked his bags right away to see if something was missing. After all, players often keep their personal stuff, like phones, wallets, and more, instead of just rackets in their bags. But when the security stopped the fan’s actions in time, Jannik Sinner was truly impressed. 

He claimed, “I feel like the security is doing a great job. Especially on court, there are lots of security, and I believe this, especially at a big tournament to make.. amazing job.. to feel us safe… New things happen like this to make, they make great jobs.” But one question still remains. Is the number one ATP star upset about what happened following his straight-set win over Bublik? Well, not really! He announced, “It’s all fine.”  

Jannik Sinner on the person who tried to steal something from his bag:

“I checked straight away if he took something. I don’t have only racquets there. I have my phone and my wallet. But I feel like security is doing a great job.”
