Aryna Sabalenka announced that she is engaged to a non-Belaursian. But she has not named her fiance’. Sabalenka was quick to clarify that person is not her coach, Dmitry Tursunov.
21-year old Sabalenka told Ukraine Tennis Twitter, “I don’t really want to comment on this, but for now, like this. It’s just an engagement, that is, there will not be a wedding. Just engaged. I’m actually a person who is a little against weddings, this whole event .”
Italian sensation Jannik Sinner is taking the tennis world by storm. Sinner was a skiing champion between ages 8 and 12, but then he dedicated himself to tennis. In 2024, he won his maiden grand slam title at the Australian Open. That same year, he went on to win the US Open. He also reached the world number 1 ranking on the back of some impressive results.

At the age of 13, the renowned Italian coach Riccardo Piatti discovered him and persuaded him to pursue tennis as a full-time endeavor. Sinner honed his tennis skills at Piatti’s academy in Bordighera, Italy. Piatti has collaborated with tennis luminaries such as Ivan Ljubicic, Novak Djokovic, Richard Gasquet, and Borna Coric. Opting for a strategic move toward long-term success, Sinner parted ways with Piatti in 2022.
Throughout his career, he has amassed a substantial prize money total, exceeding $30 million.Present and former players have ordained Sinner to be the next big thing in tennis. His poise on the tennis court and his ability to handle pressure has won accolades from almost everyone in tennis.
Sinner mostly skipped juniors and started playing futures and challengers. He quickly found success competing against players much older than him.

Nike signed up Jannik Sinner in 2019 to an apparel and shoe deal worth more than $150 million. He earns $16 million annually from the Nike contract.
Previously, Sinner was with Head. When Sinner announced that he was leaving Head for Nike, his fans on social media said they would miss Head’s yellow top and red hat combination that Sinner used to wear.

Sinner is a Formula 1 fan, so the Formula 1 sponsorship was a natural fit. Speaking of the partnership with F1, Sinner said:
One of the main reasons why I love F1, whether that’s watching, karting with my friends, or racing in a simulator, is because I feel there’s a lot of synergies between tennis and racing. I feel that in both sports it’s all about the 1% and it’s the small details that make a huge difference.”
