Jannik Sinner brought his passion for tennis and youth empowerment to life during a special event in Shanghai, hosted by the Jannik Sinner Foundation in collaboration with Head Tennis. The gathering, held alongside the ATP Masters 1000 tournament, welcomed local children for an unforgettable day of learning and play.
A Hands-On Experience With a Champion
Children were invited to participate in tennis drills and games led by Sinner himself, who took time between matches to engage with the young attendees. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as the world-class athlete shared tips, demonstrated techniques, and encouraged the kids to enjoy the sport.
Sinner’s Commitment to Youth Development
The event reflected the mission of the Jannik Sinner Foundation, which was launched in 2025 to promote education and sports for children worldwide. The foundation aims to provide opportunities for growth, confidence, and connection through structured play and mentorship.
“Every child deserves to be seen, supported and believed in. It’s an honour and a privilege to do my part in making that happen,” said Sinner, according to the foundation’s official website.
Building Character Through Sport
With support from Head Tennis, the initiative emphasized the importance of physical activity in shaping young minds. Coaches and volunteers joined Sinner in guiding the children through exercises that built not only tennis skills but also teamwork and resilience.
