Sinner admitted it in front of everyone: once again, he goes against the grain.
The appointments on the agenda can now be counted on the tips of our fingers, yet this does not mean that the season is over. The year 2024 may yet hold some surprises in store for us, which is why it would be best to be ready for possible tail twists. By now we should know Jannik Sinner and know that anything can be expected of him. Including that he will conquer a new record, having already collected so many in these glittering twelve months.
The record in question concerns, to some extent, his colleague and former world No. 1 Novak Djokovic. In the year that anointed him the king of the Atp rankings, the high-flying champion won whatever he could win, essentially. Which brought into his pockets a whopping 17 million euros in total, between official tournaments and exhibitions. Yet despite the fact that he can now be described as decidedly rich and well off, it seems clear that certain habits die hard.
Before we reveal what we are alluding to, let us return to the record. Should Sinner prevail in Paris-Bercy and win the Nitto Atp Finals in Turin undefeated, he will have earned more overall than Nole did back in 2015. Which would be further confirmation of his hegemony and the giant strides he has made in a relatively short time.
Sinner is still missing something: he keeps snubbing her
Let’s come, now, to those habits that die hard. With such a prosperous bank account, Jannik could theoretically afford anything, you’re rightly thinking

And on paper, yes, that is indeed the case. In the facts, however, it seems clear that Sinner is very different from his colleagues, who like to enjoy – rightly so – the money he has won, the fruit of countless sacrifices and many, many sacrifices. Not him, though. There is no room in the San Candido native’s life right now for headshots, for indulgences that are not directly related to the world of tennis.
This is evidenced by the fact that, during his interview for the third installment of the Sky production dedicated to him, he admitted that he has not yet bought a certain thing. “Do you still wash dishes by hand?” he was asked at one point by Federico Ferri, teasing the champion. And never would he have expected, perhaps, to find out that Sinner still does not have a dishwasher and that, indeed, he still equips himself with a sponge and dish detergent and goes with elbow grease. Unique even in this.
