Swinging into vacation: Sinner enjoys post-season on the golf course
World No. 1
Jannik Sinner crowned an incredible season this Sunday with Italy's Davis Cup
title. After defeating Tallon Griekspoor in straight sets, he secured the
European team's successful title defense, adding this achievement to the eight
singles titles he claimed throughout the season, including the Australian Open,
US Open, and ATP Finals.
The
23-year-old is now enjoying some well-deserved time off after a busy season.
Alongside his coach, Darren Cahill, Sinner took to the golf course to kick off
his vacation. The former coach of Simona Halep shared a video on social media
showing Sinner casually practicing his swing on the green.

Raducanu keeps training amid off-season
Emma
Raducanu continues her training despite the season's end, appearing this Monday
at the National Tennis Centre in London. The 2021 US Open champion recently
volunteered with Surplus to Supper, an organisation dedicated to
combating hunger by preventing food waste and redistributing surplus food to
the community.
The former
World No. 10 was also in action a week ago at the Billie Jean King Cup, where
she won all her singles matches. However, her efforts were not enough for
advancement as Great Britain suffered a surprising loss to Slovakia.
Although
the season has officially ended for Britain's No. 2, the 22-year-old shows no
signs of slowing down. On Monday, she was back on the court for a training
session in London, with the LTA sharing photos of Raducanu smiling during her
practice.
Training vibes @EmmaRaducanu 😁🎾

title last week. The world No. 4 spearheaded her team to victory in the
nations' tournament, sealing the win by defeating Rebecca Sramokova in the

In a recent
video, the 28-year-old player is seen enjoying her off-season at the beach.
Paolini shared a video on her social media showing her sliding down a
waterslide and jumping straight into the water.
Looking
ahead to the 2025 season, the two-time Grand Slam runner-up encouraged fans to
support Italy in the upcoming United Cup. She will team up with Flavio Cobolli,
Sara Errani, and Matteo Gigante for the first tournament of the season, set to
begin on December 29.
“You should
come to support Team Italy because I think we are electric, we like to make
some noise. So come to watch us, come to support us, and forza Italia,” said
the recent Billie Jean King Cup champion.
