Jannik Sinner is widely considered as one of the most interesting upcoming youngsters on tour. The Italian is impressive not only because of his fantastic tennis but also for his calm and likable personality.
The Italian sensation is currently in Sofia where he is playing the local ATP250. When he was having a brief quarantine, Jannik shared a lovely message for his coach Riccardo Piatti that is like a 2nd father to him. The 19-year-old has always credited Piatti for his success.

“Before writing everything I wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! I know that the best gift for you is not the chocolates or the cake (even if you love them to death😂🤪), but the best gifts from me are the victories. Unfortunately, I don’t have a match today but as you know I’m in Sofia, in the hotel that I have to finish the quarantine. So I can’t give you any gifts today.
Age has a number and today this will be +1 so 62. But don’t look at that because we all know that if there wasn’t this number you would still be a kid. Your desire to work and stay on the pitch is not great but it is great. It doesn’t weigh on you and you always smile and that’s the beauty.
I wish you the best.ps: sorry for the photos but I have no better than these haha”
Eventually, Jannik gave a great birthday present after he won his first match in Sofia against Marton Fucsovic in a straight sets. After that performance and with the seed no.1 out (Denis Shapovalov), Jannik seems to be the favorite to win the event.
