Sinner at work

Jannik Sinner is training after the ankle injury that forced him to retire in the Sofia semifinal against Rune.

The South Tyrolean did not return in the 250 tournament in Florence, the hope was then to see him back on the court Oct. 17 in the Naples tournament, but at this point the scenario that seems most likely is that he will make an appearance in the Vienna 500 (in Austria Sinner won 180 points last year) and then play the last Masters 1000 of the season in Paris-Bercy.

Jannik Sinner, born in San Candido on August 16, 2001, despite having achieved excellent results in skiing since childhood, decided at the age of 13 to devote himself exclusively to tennis, moving to Bordighera, at the court of Riccardo Piatti. A choice that will prove successful, as Sinner is the youngest Italian tennis player ever to enter the top 100 (October 2019) and to win an Atp title in the Open era (Sofia 2020). In addition, along with Matteo Berrettini, Jannik is the only Italian tennis player to have reached at least the round of 16 in all four Slams. For him, 2022 was the breakthrough year: he left Piatti to rely on Vagnozzi.
