Jannik Sinner continues to show that elite precision is not limited to one sport. World no. 2 enjoyed a couple of weeks off the court and headed to Dubai to work on his game before heading to Melbourne.

Like everything he does, Jannik's posture, rhythm and clean follow-through looked professional and well-balanced. The footage served as a reminder that his greatest strength may be his ability to control movement, no matter the setting.

A couple of days ago, world no. 2 trained with fellow Italian Matteo Berrettini. He ended the season on a high note and will try to maintain that pace in the first month of the new season.
Sinner will not compete in the weeks ahead of the Australian Open. Thus, he has a month to work hard on more improvements and put himself in a position of chasing the third straight crown in Melbourne.
Whiletennis remains the priority in the closing weeks of 2025, Jannik is preparing for another challenge set in a month. He and his team arranged a golf duel with Carlos Alcaraz and his coaches in Melbourne, which should bring a thriller on the green course.
Judging by his Dubai form, Sinner may arrive with more than just tennis confidence. After all, whether on grass, hard court or fairway, precision always travels with the San Candido native!
