During a
meeting with President Sergio Mattarella at the Quirinal Palace in Rome on
February 1st, Jannik Sinner found himself struggling to contain his laughter as
Matteo Arnaldi and Lorenzo Sonego attempted to tickle his funny bone. The
Italian Davis Cup team gathered at the presidential palace to commemorate their
recent title victory.

newly crowned 2024 Australian Open champion, the Italian team clinched their
first trophy in nearly 50 years by defeating Australia in the final with a
decisive 2-0 scoreline. Joining Sinner in the victorious squad were Lorenzo
Musetti and Simone Bolleli, both present at the ceremony alongside the
president.

turn to address the gathering, Jannik Sinner took to the stage to deliver a
speech of gratitude. However, the solemn moment took a humorous turn when
Sinner struggled to contain his laughter, prompted by Arnaldi and Sonego's
playful antics from the front row, aimed at eliciting a chuckle from the young
star.

from two sets down against Daniil Medvedev (3-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3), Jannik
Sinner opted for a brief hiatus from competitive action. With his first Grand
Slam title secured, Sinner is set to make his return at the ATP 500 Rotterdam
