Jannik Sinner's rise to the highest level certainly represents a model for all other players, given that the Italian ace had to face numerous difficulties before becoming the extraordinary champion we know today.
The current world number 1 had to go through several steps to complete his growth path and was not afraid to make courageous choices, such as when he decided to leave his coach Riccardo Piatti after the 2022 Australian Open to start collaborating with Simone Vagnozzi (who was later joined by Australian legend Darren Cahill a few months later).
The Italian ace who turned 24 a couple of days ago turned his career around in the second half of 2023, more precisely when he won the Beijing ATP 500 by beating Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals and Daniil Medvedev in the final (the Russian had always defeated him until then).

Sinner can inspire others
Jannik has improved from all points of view and his incredible mental strength has allowed him to continue to play at the highest level even in the most delicate moments, with particular reference to the doping case that has afflicted him for about a year.
The four-time Grand Slam champion currently occupies second place in the ATP Race despite not being able to play for three months during the spring, due to a ban due to his controversial agreement with WADA.
During an interview with 'Spazio Tennis', Gipo Arbino Lorenzo Sonego's former coach explained how all players should take Sinner as a role model for their careers: "I've been watching him play since he was very young and beyond his technique it was easy to see how he was a very intelligent guy on and off the court. He always knew what to do and when it was right to do it. He hardly makes the wrong decision in important moments and it is an aspect that all players can work on."

After the end of his long collaboration with Sonego, Arbino began working with Filippo Romano.
