At that time, the Italian star had to miss four Masters 1000 tournaments and was unable to train in a club affiliated with the various federations. It was not an easy time for the 24-year-old from Sesto Pusteria, who needed the support of his entire team and family not to lose concentration.
The four-time Grand Slam champion is playing his best tennis since the day he returned to the professional tour, as he immediately reached the final of the Rome Masters 1000 with a very brilliant run.
Jannik’s popularity is incredible
The current world number 2 ended the year with six titles won, including two Grand Slams and the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin for the second year in a row. He finished close to the top of the ATP rankings in 2025 after Carlos Alcaraz’s premature elimination at the Paris Masters 1000, but in the end the 22-year-old Spaniard finished just 550 points ahead of him.
Jannik’s popularity in Italy is truly at its peak, although his decision to skip the Davis Cup final in Bologna has caused some discontent in his country. Sinner was the most searched for character by Italians on Wikipedia for the second year in a row, further proving his enormous impact even outside the world of tennis.
He is currently training with his entire team in Dubai and his first official tournament in 2026 is the Australian Open, which starts on January 18 at Melbourne Park. The Italian star has been champion for the past two editions and only Novak Djokovic has lifted the trophy three times in a row in the Open Era.
