Jannik Sinner, who hadn’t made a public appearance since winning his second Norman Brookes trophy at the Australian Open on January 26, is back in the spotlight, this time at Milan Fashion Week. It’s been a while since we’ve seen him out and about, but it looks like he’s making a stylish return. Sinner was spotted alongside the influential Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, at the Gucci parade – a brand he’s a global ambassador for, might I add.
It’s interesting to see Sinner rubbing shoulders with the fashion elite, especially given his recent time out of the public eye. As it happens, last week we learned that he’ll be able to train again before April 12, after accepting a three-month penalty for the positive clostebol test in Indian Wells 2024. For those who may not know, Sinner has set up residence in Montecarlo, and his return to the tennis courts is slated for May 7 at the 1000 Masters in Rome. It’ll be exciting to see how he fares after his time off.
A brief diversion into fashion
Sinner’s appearance at the Gucci parade is a great reminder that athletes often have interests and passions beyond their sport. As a global ambassador for Gucci, he’s clearly comfortable in the fashion world, and it’s not hard to see why – he looks right at home alongside Anna Wintour. The fashion icon is known for her impeccable style, and it’s interesting to see Sinner holding his own alongside her.
As we look forward to Sinner’s return to the tennis world, it’s worth wondering how his time off will affect his performance. Will he come back strong, or will he take some time to get back into the swing of things? Either way, it’s great to see him out and about, and we can’t wait to see what he does next – both on and off the court.
