📜 Jannik Sinner History
Sinner began playing tennis at 3 years old, by which age he was also skiing regularly. By the time Sinner was a teenager, he was a highly promising athlete in both sports, but eventually opted to pursue tennis more seriously.
This decision was a good one: Sinner largely bypassed the junior circuit, and quickly made the big leap to professional tennis, featuring in ITF tournaments by the time he was 17. By late 2019 Sinner was a regular on the ATP tour, and he finished the year inside the top-100. A year later, he was inside the top-40. In 2021, Sinner reached the final of the Miami Open, having already picked up a handful of ATP titles. In winning the 2021 European Open in Antwerp, Belgium, Jannik Sinner became the youngest winner of 5 ATP singles trophies since Novak Djokovic. In 2023, Sinner reached the final of the Miami Open, after defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals, but was himself bested by Daniil Medvedev. A couple of months later, at Wimbledon, Sinner achieved a career-best finish at a Grand Slam when he reached the semifinals of the tournament, where he was beaten by eventual losing finalist Novak Djokovic. In August of 2023 he then won his first ATP Masters 1000 title, defeating Alex de Minaur in the final of the National Bank Open in Toronto.
Sinner is an excellent athlete with a good all-court game, and a controlled, composed style of play that belies his somewhat gangly frame. He can regularly find winners off both his forehand and backhand side, and his potent two-handed backhand is noted for its impressive topspin.
