Jannik Sinner: A Private Meeting with a Soccer Legend (and Federica Masolin) Revealed

Jannik Sinner is back in the spotlight in Turin, even off the tennis courts. The South Tyrolean champion is expected today, Saturday, November 14, at 3:00 p.m. at the Nike Store at Via Roma 43, for an exclusive event organized in conjunction with the 2026 Nitto ATP Finals. The event, strictly behind closed doors and by invitation only, will be an opportunity to get to know a lesser-known side of the Italian champion, who—despite his absence from the Masters tournament—continues to be one of the most anticipated figures in the city.

A highlight of the event will be the presence of a special guest: Paolo Maldini. The former captain and executive of AC Milan—a huge tennis fan and Rossoneri supporter just like Sinner—will speak with the South Tyrolean number one. Federica Masolin, a Sky Sport personality and host of programs dedicated to the Champions League, will moderate the conversation.

The visit to the Nike Store is one of the stops on Jannik’s weekend itinerary in Turin, where he arrived to participate in various events related to his sponsors. On Friday, the champion visited the Nuvola Lavazza, meeting with President Giuseppe Lavazza and hundreds of company employees. In the evening, he attended the gala dinner organized by the ATP to celebrate the players who have reached the number one spot in the world rankings.

Today, he is also expected at the Inalpi Arena for the unveiling of his new custom Head racquet. The Speed model will be named “Jannik” and will initially be available in a limited edition, with the commercial launch scheduled for November 19.
