Jannik Sinner has achieved extraordinary results in the last two years, helping the entire Italian movement to grow and becoming a source of inspiration for all his compatriots. The 24-year-old from Sesto Pusteria has become one of the leaders of the men's tour together with his huge rival Carlos Alcaraz, with whom he has already created some iconic matches destined to remain etched in the history of tennis.
Despite suffering a three-month ban due to his deal with WADA, the Italian ace has won two Grand Slam titles this year (the Australian Open and the Wimbledon Championships), but lost the top position in the ATP rankings after losing the US Open final to Carlitos less than two weeks ago.
Sinner is polarizing in Italy
The four-time Grand Slam champion will have to defend many points between now and the end of the season and it will not be easy for him to return to the top of the ATP rankings, but the world number 2 loves to play on indoor hard courts and has already resumed practicing in Monte Carlo. His next official tournament will be the Beijing ATP 500, a tournament where he triumphed in 2023 and reached the final in the last edition.

Jannik has also added the Vienna ATP 500 to his schedule, while his participation in the Paris-Bercy Masters 1000 before the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin is in doubt. Italian fans are also wondering if he will be present in Bologna for the Davis Cup Finals, a competition that Italy has won in the last two editions in Malaga.
Recently, the former world number 1 was heavily criticized by the famous Italian rapper Fedez within a song. In an interview with 'La Zanzara', the latter explained his point of view better: "I don't like the fact that Sinner lives in Monte Carlo and doesn't pay taxes in Italy. If you don't pay taxes in our country, you can't say anything about what happens here. I think Jannik doesn't care about what happens in Italy, in fact he lives in Monte Carlo."
