Sinner Recognised At AC Milan Match, Meets Ibrahimovic

Jannik Sinner is blossoming into a superstar well beyond the tennis court.

The Italian was recognised on Tuesday at AC Milan's match against Dortmund for his sensational close to the season. Sinner reached the championship match on home soil at the Nitto ATP Finals in Turin and then led Italy to Davis Cup glory.

During his end-of-season surge, Sinner defeated World No. 1 Novak Djokovic three times in less than two weeks. He upset the Serbian in round-robin action at the Nitto ATP Finals (losing to him in the final) before taking down the 98-time tour-level titlist in singles and doubles when his country played Serbia in the Davis Cup semi-finals.

The 22-year-old was recognised with a custom jersey at San Siro Stadium and had the opportunity to spend time with football legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The No. 4 player in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings stayed close to his tennis roots, though. Sinner caught up at the match with countryman Matteo Berrettini, who was by his side during Italy's Davis Cup run.
