Before he became world number one, Jannik Sinner was a national ski champion.
At just 8 years old, Jannik Sinner won the Italian national championship in giant slalom. He grew up in Sexten, a tiny village in the Dolomites of South Tyrol, Italy, idolized ski legend Bode Miller, and only treated tennis as a side hobby. Then, around the age of 13, he made a decision that changed tennis history: he quit skiing, left home alone, and moved to the Riccardo Piatti tennis academy in Bordighera.
In this video, we break down Jannik Sinner's childhood, his ski racing past, the mindset he built on the slopes, and how a kid who never played a single junior Grand Slam became a five-time Grand Slam champion, two-time Wimbledon champion, and the second player ever to complete the Career Golden Masters, after Novak Djokovic.
