Vagnozzi Reveals Sinner’s Other Passion: "He Might Give It a Shot Sooner or Later"
Back from suspension, Sinner will face Argentina’s Navone in his opening match in Rome. After being sidelined for three months, the Italian had to endure the frustration of not being able to play his sport. Competitive in every situation, the world No. 1 loves to win in any field, according to his coach Simone Vagnozzi:
"People have no idea how competitive Jannik is in everything, from card games to activities like karting. For example, if we play tennis and I score a point, he looks at me bitterly."
The 41-year-old also mentioned Sinner’s other passion, which might even inspire him to pursue it full-time after his career:
"You don’t know how much he’d love to be a Formula 1 driver—he’s absolutely crazy about it, it’s his dream! Watch out, he might give it a shot sooner or later, at the end of his career," he said in an interview reported by *Punto de Break*.
