Jannik Sinner returns to the field

“Back to work,” Jannik Sinner writes on Instagram.

Jannik Sinner has returned to training almost a month after his last match (the loss to Huesler in Paris-Bercy), dating back to Oct. 31. Confirming the return to the court was the South Tyrolean tennis player himself, with a video posted on Instagram showing him in the course of training with racket and ball, accompanied by the phrase “Back to work.”

Sinner was out of action for the entire month of November due to a finger injury-a problem that, among other things, prevented him from taking part in the Davis Cup finals in Malaga, which ended for the Italian team in the semifinals against Canada.

The native of San Candido , now, is preparing for the 2023 season, in which he will have as his first goal to return to the top ten of the ATP rankings.

Despite having achieved excellent results in skiing since childhood, at the age of 13 Jannik decided to devote himself exclusively to tennis, moving to Bordighera, at the court of Riccardo Piatti. It was a choice that would 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.
