Jannik Sinner won his 1st China Open in 1st October 2023 after defeating world number 2 Carlos Alcaraz and world number 3 Danil Medvevev. It was a very impressive run indeed for the 22 year old and has brought his current world ranking to number 4.

Jannik Sinner was born on August 16, 2001, in San Candido, Italy.

Jannik did not actually focus on tennis until the age of 13. Before that, he was one of the most promising junior skiers in Italy and even won a national championship in giant slalom at eight years old and was the runner up at the age of twelve.

He’s often asked if he thinks he made the right choice to go for tennis instead of skiing.

Carlos Alcaraz is a name that has established himself firmly as the annointed successor to tennis dominance in the world of professional tennis . Born on May 5, 2003, in El Palmar, Murcia, Spain, Alcaraz has quickly risen through the ranks to establish himself as one of the brightest talents in the sport. His rapid ascent has captivated fans and experts alike, particularly his recent captures of Wimbledon 2023 and USOpen 2022, the ultimate grandslam titles all great wannabes seek to achieve.
