Jannik Sinner confirms himself as a great Italian tennis champion. The athlete imposed himself in the "China Open", achieving his third success of the season in an ATP tournament and the second of his career in the ATP Tour 500.
The Italian tennis player ready to conquer the world
Born in 2001, originally from San Candido, in the province of Bolzano, has established himself in recent years as one of the most interesting tennis players on the international scene, alongside Matteo Berettini and other champions. His parents, of German origin, wanted him to be a skier, but the lure of the racket was stronger and since then he has achieved more and more victories, especially in 2019, considered together with 2023 to be his golden year.
Today he competes with the greatest champions in the world, giving them a hard time.
He is striking for his good-guy air, polite, correct and discreet as a champion; he is engaged to a girl of the same name Maria Braccini. He was chosen as a testimonial by Gucci.

Sinner won the 'China Open', ATP 500 tournament in Beijing, beating Daniil Medvedev, no.3 in the world, with a score of 7-6, 7-6 in the final played on the central court of the National Tennis Centre.

Jannik becomes, together with Panatta, the Italian with the highest placing ever recorded in an ATP ranking. Behind him another Italian: Fabio Fognini.
Here are his words after the success:
“I want to thank Daniil because he finally made me win a match (he smiles ed.). We've had a lot of battles, especially this year. Thanks for making me a better player in training too. I have worked a lot on my physique and I will continue to do so because it is an essential component in my game. For this reason, my thoughts go to the team that supported me and to all those who were close to me. It is very nice to share this success with you and it is a very significant victory in my journey. The preparation was very hard and there were high expectations. I don't look too much at the ranking, my goal is to always improve and I want to continue doing so. There is still so much to do".
A very young champion
Sinner enters the history of Italian tennis not only for his victories but also because he is the youngest blue champion to reach altitude nine victories in his journey. A historic undertaking that we will remember and which constitutes a reason and incentive to conquer others extraordinary victories and make us Italians immensely proud.
