Jannik Sinner changes sports while waiting in Indian Wells

Jannik Sinner changes sports

While waiting to find out who will be his first opponent in Indian Wells, Jannik Sinner changes sports and is immortalized playing soccer in California-a relaxing moment for the South Tyrolean ace, who is an AC Milan fan.

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. 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.
