Italy’s young tennis star, Jannik Sinner, is set to become the ambassador for the 2026 Winter Olympics. The 23-year-old is already regarded as
one of the best players currently playing in men’s tennis in the singles
category, along with Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Serbia’s Novak Djokovic.
Sinner has received yet another accolade as he has been named
as the brand ambassador for the 2026 Winter Olympics. The competition is set to
be oragnised in Italy with Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo has been nominated as
the cities to host. The tournament will be played from February 06-22 in 2026.
Sinner recently became the first Italian player ever to win
the US Open title. He defeated America’s Taylor Fritz in the final in straight
sets with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. It was the young Italian’s second Grand
Slam in 2024. Previously, he also won the Australian Open after beating Russia’s
Daniil Medvedev in a five-set thriller with a score of 3–6, 3–6, 6–4, 6–4, 6–3.
Because of consistent performances in the last 18 months,
Sinner became the world number earlier this year during the French Open after
Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic was forced to withdraw from the Roland
Garros just before the start of the quarterfinal against Norway’s Casper Ruud.

The news will be another positive one for Sinner, who has suffered some tough times in the recent past. The San Candido-born star recently
managed to escape a doping ban despite testing positive on two occasions for a banned substance. The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA), in a
detailed statement, announced that they accepted the player’s counsel’s
response where they claimed that the availability of the substance in minimal
quantity in the player’s sample was because he received a cream from one of the
members of the coaching staff to overcome an injury.

- Quinwen learned it's better to have friends in tennis. Happy to see she has changed her attitude on the circuit.
- Remind her the racquet is in HER hand, not any coach.
- My advice to Coco is take a few months off from the tour and focus on the serve. If MacMillan is not producing the expected results, relieve him of his duties and hire someone else. To hell with the rankings and what people will say. Just take a break. Mental health is far more important than money.
- Eventually (as other sports have done) WTA will be forced to make DNA / Gender Testing mandatory in order to protect and promote fairness in competitions. End of so-called 'controversy'.
- It's sad... but Rybakina is not going to be able to endure her groomer's interference in Life and still excel to her best level. BTW: No media has reported her last sentence to the physio. They kept asking questions and she abruptly told them: "I know what it is; I'm ready to go now".
- You seem to have 'lost the plot' ??
- This needs to be done, and I think Jessica Pegula is an excellent choice for chair to look into the situation. However, a very brief look at the other members of the panel would suggest a very USA heavy contingent. The group needs to represent all interests, not just turn it into a way the US can screw more money out of an already biased calendar.
- The tennis world should be kissing her feet for taking-on this long needed position in a much needed council. The WTA and ATP need a good shaking-up. Pegula's business heritage is a proven one. Let's hope she and her colleagues can stop WTA & ATP from shutting their work down and out. GO GET 'EM !!
- So the Sportswasher's largest market is... the Filipino community? That's all well and good but the hundreds and hundreds of empty seats throughout is embarrassing. Talk about bad optics!
- The poor Head Sportswasher has been whining and crying in the media, and basically threatening Saba, Iga, etc. Must be a real Ego Buster when they dangle money and people (especially Women) say, 'No thanks'.
