Jannik Sinner and his coach Riccardo Piatti have forged a fantastic partnership. The young Italian started to work with the renowned coach at a very early age and they formed a very strong bond. Jannik followed Riccardo’s philosophy and he rarely played at the junior level to gather more and more experience with more mature players. That definitely paid off and now Jannik is one of the most promising young players on the circuit.
Sinner and Piatti conquered the prestigious awards from Supertennis, the digital platform of the Italian Federation. Jannik won the award as the best Italian player while Riccardo won the award as the best coach.
The golden duo posted a nice message on social media, thanking for the recognition.

In the following week, he will be the budding partner also of Stan Wawrinka and Diego Schwartzman. The Italian will compete in an ATP250 just before the Australian Open before playing in the slam.
