Jannik Sinner: the girlfriend, the first racket and the desire for privacy

The tennis player is just 22 years old Jannik Sinner, the first Italian in 54 years of history to play the final of the ATP Finals, is making Italy dream. Yes it was beaten by the Russian Novak Djokovicbut nothing will make us forget the exploits of the last few weeks, like the match of the year in which he has defeated Novak Djokovic. Everyone talks about him, including gossip. Looking for information on his private life. Born in San Candido, a village of 1,900 inhabitants in the Alta Val Pusteria, on 16 August 2001, Sinner He picked up his first tennis racket when he was just 3 years old: he played with his father’s, the retired cook Hanspeter (now coach of Sexten football), bouncing the ball off mirrors, doors and windows. «Take him out of my house because he is destroying it»asked mother Siglinde, who runs a guesthouse in Sesto Pusteriato family friend Andreas Schönegger, the first true master of the South Tyrolean champion.

At 13 Jannik left Alto Adige to pursue the dream of tennis in Bordighera and at just 14 he made his debut on the professional circuit juniors. The rest is history. And today the twenty-two-year-old Sinner seems to have only tennis on his mind. He admits it himself when he says: «I go to bed thinking about what to do to improve my game». In his heart, however, there would be Laura Margesin, 22 years old like him, from South Tyrol like him, a model and fashion model by profession. The girl, when she can, follows Jannik without being noticed, as happened at the Foro Italico for the tennis internationals. And the two, in recent times, have been paparazzi together several times.

The tennis player and the model, according to gossip, have only been linked for a few months. Report never confirmed nor denied by those directly involved. Laura is so discreet that she even gives little or nothing of her life to social media. Jannik is so jealous of her private life that he would have left his alleged ex-flame, the influencer Maria Braccini, for one post too many. In short: expecting newly (presumed) engaged couples to talk to us about their love seems really unlikely. However, the gossip has no doubts: in Sinner’s head there is only tennis, but his heart beats for Laura.
