Jannik Sinner
About
Born in San Candido in the Italian Dolomites, Jannik Sinner was a junior ski champion before fully committing to tennis at 13 under Riccardo Piatti. He turned pro in 2018 and broke into the top 10 by 2021. His real breakthrough came in 2023 with a Davis Cup title, followed by a maiden Grand Slam at the 2024 Australian Open and the world No. 1 ranking that summer. He has held the top spot for most weeks of any player since.
Recent form
In the news
“Sinner's first-serve hold percentage on clay this spring is the highest of any returning top-10 player in five years.”
Playing style
An aggressive baseliner who plays close to the line and takes the ball remarkably early. The forehand and two-handed backhand are both struck flat with heavy depth, turning rallies into a series of body blows. Footwork is unusually precise for someone 191 cm tall, and the calm under pressure has only deepened since the 2024 AO final.
