Jannik Sinner took off right away from Monte Carlo.

Jannik Sinner in Monte Carlo

Jannik Sinner has already departed.

The South Tyrolean tennis player, after missing the Davis Cup finals, is in fact training in Monte Carlo ahead of the upcoming season.

In particular, he is doing so with 18-year-old Massimo Giunta, number 1287 in the Atp rankings, in preparation for the Australian Open 2023.

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.
