Jannik Sinner has fulfilled the dream that any tennis enthusiast has wished for as a child: becoming the number one in the world, winning Grand Slams, and being one of the best players on the circuit. The Italian has achieved all that, however, he has confessed that when he was young, his dream didn't involve a racket: "My real dream when I was young was to become a Formula 1 driver. But my family never had the necessary money, so I didn't even try, so I chose skiing because it gives you a sensation of adrenaline and speed, although obviously, I am very happy to have ended up playing tennis and everything that has come after," stated the world number two.

Jannik on the career he would have chosen if not a tennis player:
