Jannik Sinner is enjoying a strong season but for this occasion, he left the racquet to play some 'The Last Time With'.
It is a popular game where players sit down with ATPTour.com to discuss the last times they did a certain thing. This time around it was Jannik Sinner who took part in it. His first question was when was the last time he lost something important to which he replied:
"When I was a skier, I lost my skis once. I went to eat something and, when I went back, the skis were not there anymore. That was tough for me."
When asked about the last time he bought tennis balls or hired a court he replied:
"I would say in Juniors. I had to pay for tennis balls and the court, but it was not much. It was okay. I think it was somewhere in Bosnia. Fortunately, I had money with me."
When asked about the last time he cooked he said that he cooks sometimes usually when he has a friend or girlfriend over. He admitted he was not a chef but he can manage when he needs to.
Asked about the last time he met a childhood idol he said:
"Rafa, definitely. Always when I see him, I am quite nervous. It is the same with Roger. It is always special to meet them."
And to conclude he was asked about attending a live sporting event outside of tennis to which he said: "
"At the 2019 Next Gen ATP Finals, we went to see AC Milan v Lazio. I think we lost 2-1. I am an AC Milan fan. It was strange because we were the whole group together, with all the Next Gen players. It was 1-1 until the 80th minute and then we went away because, after the match, there are a bunch of people going around. After two minutes, we were 2-1 down. It was a bad, bad day."
