Sinner US Open

Jannik Sinner will begin the US Open with a lot of pressure on his shoulders, as the defending champion but also with the world No. 1 ranking at stake, which he has held since June 2024.

To relax and forget all these stakes for a moment, the Italian has taken up a new passion: Legos. This is what he told Corriere della Sera in an interview published today:

"I've become passionate about Legos, really passionate. In the evening, for example, I build them. Right now, it's a car. Here in New York, I have a bit more free time, and there's a Lego store near my hotel. I went there and bought a Porsche. I finished it in one day, in five hours. Then I told myself I needed a bigger one.

I feel like the last one I bought is too big... But I like it. I listen to music and think about other things. When you're a tennis player or an athlete, you have so many things on your mind and a lot of pressure. All the time. So in the evening, I really enjoy this.
