He's the new world No 1, a Gucci model with a glamorous tennis star girlfriend, £17m in the bank and A-listers as pals: Jannik Sinner, 22, is the man to beat at Wimbledon as his title charge begins Jannik Sinner arrives at Wimbledon as world No 1 for the first time in his career The Italian, who is a model for Gucci, is dating tennis star Anna Kalinskaya He won his first Grand Slam earlier this year in Australia but has never won SW19 By Nathan Salt Published: 12:54 BST, 1 July 2024 | Updated: 12:56 BST, 1 July 2024 e-mail View comments It has taken some getting used to for Jannik Sinner to understand just how famous he really is. Arriving here at Wimbledon as world No 1, the first Italian player to ever reach the top of the men's rankings, a Gucci ambassador and with tennis girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya in tow, Sinner is the it man and the it couple. Sinner is, for the most part, fiercely private.
He grew up in Sexten, a town in the Dolomites, where his dad Johann worked as a chef and his mother Siglinde a waitress at a ski lodge. Even now, with the lights brighter than ever before, worldwide fame seeing 70,000 people chant his name inside AC Milan 's San Siro stadium, or Gucci laying on a dinner packed with A-List celebrities to congratulate him reaching world No 1, Sinner longs for the serenity of family. 'I don't care about being famous,' he told L'Equipe on the eve of Wimbledon, where he starts his campaign today against Germany's Yannick Hanfmann.
