The first Italian man to win a Grand Slam — Australian Open champion 2024 and 2025 and world number one.
Jannik Sinner was born in San Candido, Italy in 2001. He won the Australian Open in 2024 — the first Italian man to win a Grand Slam title — defeating Daniil Medvedev from two sets down in the final in one of the tournament's great comebacks. He repeated the Australian Open victory in 2025. He won the US Open in 2024. He finished 2024 as the world number one — the first Italian man to achieve the ranking. He and Carlos Alcaraz represent tennis's new era after the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic generation and his rivalry — with Djokovic still competing — defines the sport's present and immediate future. He is noted for his extraordinary work ethic, his tactical intelligence and the consistency of his return game. He became involved in a doping controversy in 2024 — testing positive for a banned substance, cleared by an independent tribunal who accepted his explanation of contaminated supplement — generating significant debate about the sport's anti-doping procedures.
