Hugo Gaston has signed up with Adidas. Gaston will wear Adidas shoes and clothing. He was previously sponsored by Asics and wore the brand’s clothing and shoes. Gaston’s Asics contract expired at the end of the year. 

On Instagram, Gaston said:

Very happy to join the Adidas family 🔥 A new adventure begins

He ended 2021 inside the Top 70 in world rankings. In 2020, he reached the fourth round at the French Open. In 2021, he reached his first ATP final at the Gstaad, where he lost Casper Ruud.

Hugo Gaston plays an unorthodox style of tennis. He loves hitting drop shots and often surprises and wears out opponents with that shot. His best results have come on clay, a surface that fits his style of play.

Jannik Sinner has split with his longtime coach Riccardo Piatti. The move is surprising because Piatti is like  a father figure to Sinner and has guided his career from a young age.

At the Australian Open earlier this year, Jannik Sinner hinted at adding new members to his team. This move rattled their relationship and led to the split. Though he reached the quarterfinals at the Australian Open, results have been underwhelming by his standards.

Sinner started working with Riccardo Piatti at age 13. By age 17, Sinner started winning ATP Challenger titles. He broke into the Top 100 world ranking in 2019. That year, he became the first teen to win an ATP 500 tournament since that category was created in 2009.

Piatti has coached several top players including with Ivan Ljubičić, Richard Gasquet, Borna Coric, Maria Sharapova, and Novak Djokovic.
