Dating & Relationship Status
As of now, there is no widely reported information about Jannik Sinner's personal relationship status. Many celebrities keep their personal lives private, and Sinner seems to be focused primarily on his career.
His mother tongue is German. He grew up in the town of Sexten in the Dolomites, the family hometown, where his father worked as a chef, and his mother as a waitress at a ski lodge. Sinner began both skiing and playing tennis at age three. He did his first ski races in first grade, played his first tennis tournament at the age of five. He was one of Italy's top junior skiers from seven to twelve years old, winning a national championship in giant slalom at age seven in 2008 and becoming a national runner-up at age eleven in 2012.
While training in skiing Sinner gave up tennis for a year at the age of seven before his father pushed him to return to the sport. When he resumed playing, he began working with Heribert Mayr as his first regular coach. His grandfather would drive him to Tennis San Giorgio early in the morning, where Sinner had to take individual lessons with Mayr as no child his age there could keep up with his level and he was much faster than older children. Nonetheless, tennis was still only his third priority behind skiing and football. In the morning, he competed in a ski race, and in the afternoon, he played a football match for AFC Sexten (Youth).
At age 13, Sinner gave up skiing and football in favour of tennis due to his physique; he was tall, thin, and weighed only 35 kilograms. He also preferred competing in an individual sport directly against an opponent and having more control over the outcome. He decided to move on his own to Bordighera in Liguria on the Italian Riviera to train at the Piatti Tennis Center under Riccardo Piatti and Massimo Sartori, a decision his parents supported. At the centre, Sinner lived with the family of Luka Cvjetković, one of his coaches, and later moved out to share an apartment with two boys. Before Sinner began training in tennis full-time with Piatti, he had been playing only twice a week. He graduated from the Walther Institute, a private economics school in Bolzano.
As the top seed at the Rotterdam Open, he recorded his 200th singles win in the quarterfinals, after Milos Raonic retired with a hip injury with Sinner leading by a set, becoming the first player born in the 2000s to accomplish this feat. After defeating Tallon Griekspoor in the semifinal and Alex de Minaur in the final, Sinner rose to a new career high of No. 3 in the world, becoming the highest-ranked Italian player in history. Sinner also became the first male player since Lleyton Hewitt, in 2001, to win his debut event as a major champion. At the 2024 BNP Paribas Open, with a victory over 25th seed Jan-Lennard Struff to reach the fourth round, he recorded his 17th consecutive match win, the longest ATP level streak for an Italian player in the Open Era. Sinner extended this to 19 consecutive wins (16–0 in 2024) by defeating Jiří Lehečka in the quarterfinal. Prior to his semifinal defeat to Carlos Alcaraz, Sinner had won 36 of his previous 38 matches, dating back to the 2023 China Open.
In February 2022, he ended his long collaboration with Piatti and his team and began to train with Simone Vagnozzi, ex-coach of Marco Cecchinato, new fitness coach Umberto Ferrara and physiotherapist. In July 2022, coach Darren Cahill officially joined Sinner's team. Instead of hiring a mental coach like other tennis players, Sinner uses Formula Medicine, an Italian mental training program developed for Formula 1 drivers. In early 2023, he hired Giacomo Naldi as his personal physiotherapist. In September 2024, he replaced Ferrara and Naldi with Novak Djokovic’s former fitness trainer Marco Panichi and physiotherapist Ulises Badio. He also works with osteopath Andrea Cipolla. Sinner's father, a chef, cooks for the team at major tournaments.
He was in a relationship with Italian model Maria Braccini from 2020 to 2024. As of June 2024, he was in a relationship with russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya.

He followed up an opening round loss at Italy's Grade A tournament in 2017 with a quarterfinal in 2018. That was the only junior event he played in 2018. He never played any of the junior Grand Slam tournaments. Because he entered so few high-level tournaments, Sinner's career-high junior ranking was a relatively low No. 133.
Sinner had a strong finish to the season. As a wild card at the European Open, he became the youngest player in five years to reach an ATP semifinal. Along the way, he knocked off top seed and world No. 13 Gaël Monfils for his first career top 50 victory. This performance helped him break into the top 100 for the first time one week later. At the end of the season, Sinner qualified for the 2019 Next Gen ATP Finals as the Italian wild card and the lowest seed. He won in his round robin group with victories over Frances Tiafoe and Mikael Ymer, losing only to Ugo Humbert.
Sinner carried over his success from late 2020 into the start of the 2021 season. He won his second career ATP title at the Great Ocean Road Open, and notably defeated No. 20 Karen Khachanov in the semifinals after saving a match point. He became the youngest to win back-to-back ATP titles since Rafael Nadal in 2005. His ten-match winning streak came to an end in the first round of the 2021 Australian Open, where he lost a tight five-set match to world No. 12 Denis Shapovalov.
Sinner successfully defended his title at the Sofia Open as the top seed, defeating again second seed Gaël Monfils in the final. Sinner made his sixth career final at the 2021 European Open without dropping a set en route. He defeated Lorenzo Musetti, Arthur Rinderknech and Lloyd Harris to reach the final. He bested Diego Schwartzman in the final to take his fifth career title. He became the youngest man to win five ATP titles since 19-year-old Novak Djokovic.

He again saved three match points in the opener at the Madrid Open against Tommy Paul to move to the second round. Next, he defeated Alex de Minaur for his 100th career win; he hit this milestone after 147 matches (100–47) on Tour, which was a faster rate than everyone in the Top 10 besides Rafael Nadal (100–37) and Novak Djokovic (100–43). He was defeated in the third round by Félix Auger-Aliassime.
At the Eastbourne International, Sinner suffered his first opening round loss of the year after losing to Tommy Paul in three sets. At the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, he recorded his first win at this Major over Stan Wawrinka. He then beat Mikael Ymer, John Isner, and Carlos Alcaraz to reach his third career Grand Slam quarterfinal. He lost to top seed and eventual champion Novak Djokovic in five sets in the quarterfinals, after being two sets to love up.
In March, he played in Indian Wells where he defeated Richard Gasquet, Adrian Mannarino, and Stan Wawrinka all in straight sets to advance to the quarterfinals where he faced defending champion Taylor Fritz and won in a three-set match. In the following round in the semifinals, he lost in straight sets to career rival and top seed Carlos Alcaraz who returned to world No. 1 following the tournament. In Miami, he reached the quarterfinals of this tournament for a third straight year after defeating Grigor Dimitrov and Andrey Rublev, thus returning to the top 10 in the rankings at world No. 9. He then defeated Emil Ruusuvuori to reach back-to-back semifinals, where he again faced the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, this time winning to reach his second Miami and career Masters final in three years, putting an end to Alcaraz's hopes for a Sunshine Double and preventing him from returning to the No. 1 spot. He lost to fourth seed Daniil Medvedev in straight sets in the final, extending his losing streak versus the Russian to 0–6.
In Monte Carlo he reached a third consecutive Masters semifinal defeating compatriot and 16th seed Lorenzo Musetti. At the French Open, Sinner was upset in the second round by Daniel Altmaier in a five-set match despite serving for the match in the fourth set and having two match points. At five hours and 26 minutes, it was the longest match of Sinner's career up until this point and the fifth-longest in the tournament history as well as the second longest of the season after Andy Murray against Thanasi Kokkinakis at the Australian Open.
At the China Open, he defeated world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, his fourth tour-level win against the Spaniard, to reach his fifth final of the season, where he defeated world No. 3 Daniil Medvedev for the first time at the seventh time of asking.

Sinner won his second major at the 2024 US Open, defeating 5th seed Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals, getting revenge for his previous Wimbledon loss, 25th seed Jack Draper in the semifinals, and 12th seed Taylor Fritz in the final. He became the fourth man in more than 50 years to win his first two major titles in the same season. At the post-match ceremony, Sinner dedicated his win to his aunt. At age 23, Sinner became the youngest man ever to win both hard-court majors in the same year.
For his 2024 positive test for Clostebol, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced in February 2025 they entered a "case resolution agreement" with Sinner. WADA accepted the cause and explanation of the positive test but stated "an athlete bears responsibility for the entourage’s negligence". A three-month suspension was handed down with Sinner being ineligible from tennis competition from 9 February to 4 May 2025. Some players reacted with criticism of the process, notably Novak Djokovic who at a press conference at the 2025 Qatar Open expressed the opinion that "the majority of the players feel like there is favouritism happening" citing the advantages that high ranked players have to rapid legal advice. Sinner's lawyer Jamie Singer was vocal of the criticism, speaking out about the ill-informed commentary about the process and the suspension itself.
Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have faced each other 11 times since 2021, with Alcaraz leading the rivalry at 7–4. The duo have played several high-profile matches, such as the 2024 French Open semifinal, which Alcaraz won in five sets, the 2022 US Open quarterfinal, which Alcaraz won in five sets after saving a match point en route to the title, and the 2023 Miami semifinal, won by Sinner. The pair met three times on the tour in 2024, with Alcaraz winning all three matches, notably their third meeting at the 2024 China Open. The pair faced each other for the first time in 2025 at the Italian Open final with Alcaraz winning in straight sets.
Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev have met 15 times since 2020, with Sinner leading the rivalry 8–7. The rivalry used to be one-sided in favor of Medvedev, with the Russian winning their first six matches. Sinner disrupted this streak in late 2023 by winning the next five, and eventually leveling the head-to-head. The two have played a number of high-profile matches, most notably the 2024 Australian Open final, which Sinner won in five sets after being down two-sets-to-love to claim his first major title. They met again in the 2024 Wimbledon quarterfinals, which Medvedev won in five sets, and the 2024 US Open quarterfinal, which Sinner won in four sets en route to the title.
Sinner has been compared to Roger Federer for his calm on-court demeanour and all-court movement. Federer himself has praised Sinner for the balance in his game, remarking, "What I like about him is that he almost has the same speed of shooting from the forehand and backhand." Former world No. 1 junior and tennis coach Claudio Pistolesi has praised Sinner's good lateral movement, which he attributes in part to Sinner's background in skiing. In this regard, Sinner has been compared to Novak Djokovic, who also credits a background in skiing for improving his tennis skills.
