Hitting With World #1 Jannik Sinner: My Unforgettable Tennis Experience

[@superbtennis24]

That was a cool perspective we had when Jannik was hitting

[@TheTennisMentor]

Yes, so happy that he was chill enough to wear my cap!

[@federicotown8052]

Jannik the pride of Italy !

[@wishyrater]

I'm so happy that Jannik and Carlos have emerged as top tennis players. They are such good role models for all the young people getting into tennis. Smiley, humble, always loving what they're doing, taking time out of their day to do nice things. Great ambassadors for our sport for many years to come!

Of course it is. He is ranked 1

Jannik is so mature for a kid his age!! Very well family and morally educated, it’s sn honor for our sport to have him as world #1!!! Grazie ragazzo!!

[@TheTennisMentor]

Totally agree!

[@dariusd2003]

Jannik is awesome! I remember cheering for him in several matches and even Serena was amazed by that powerful forehand

[@FS-hp9oy]

Jannik Sinner is a tennis prodigy especially considering he was more into skiing and he is one of the well spoken tennis players with lots of humor.

Definately Jannik is one of the players that we'll see many times in the future finals. Not only for his talent but also for his personality.

[@sherlockhomeless7138]

What personality? He seems rather boring to be honest

[@salmaofinlandes6793]

Well I don't want to be *that* guy, but the reason we are going to see Jannik in many finals in the future has nothing to do with his personality and everything to do with him being an absolute monster at tennis.

[@gennarogerminario]

​@@salmaofinlandes6793i don't think you are completely right. Being a tennis monster has a very strict relation to mental strenght, self-confidence, moral capacity to facing difficult game moments, in other words to personality, beyond technical abilities.

[@gabzylive]

Jannik is so lovable, one of the best personalities on tour right now without a doubt, and also an amazing talent. I look forward to all the things he will do for the sport along with the others in the new gen. Forza Jannik!

[@ln5175]

All of these Jannik Dinner videos have got me falling in love. If that was me ordinary life would never be the same! He's a sweetheart

[@Idk-se3sy]

This is such a deja vu experience for me lol! When I went to the US Open last year I had the EXACT same feeling you had, except it was with Djokovic. We walked together to the practice courts and he had his arm around me like I was his son lol. He gave good advice and he was super nice and chill. Like you said, this is one of the moments we remember for the rest of our lives!

[@Nowhatsgoingon11222]

Really? Lucky you

[@kesun32145]

Damn Sinner is great but Djokovic is the goat. A hitting session with Djokovic is only rivaled with a session with Nadal and maybe Federer.

[@novakgoatovic]

DJokovic is the G, the best ever. Sinner is no one.

[@CargoSlim]

@@kesun32145 What do you mean maybe Federer. Hes the number one tennis god to hit with ideally.

[@TrichecoDeiTrichechi]

@@novakgoatovic it's just the guy that purged Novak 4 of the last 5 times; he actually beaten him TWICE in a day in Davis Cup, first in single (after being 3 match points down) and then in double with Sonego. Poor little Novak.

[@Stuen4y]

It's incredible to just hear and compare the amount of spin Jannik puts on the ball even when hitting super casually. It shows how the modern game is all spin driven and you can never have too much spin. He is truly an amazing player to watch and such a nice humble guy and I wish him all the best in his hopefully long and injury free career. Regarding you Ashley, it is a joy to see your passion for the sport I also love. You have some very lucky students of yours so keepup the good work!

[@dome_thelazyegg19]

That’s so cool and you’re so lucky. He’s so smiley outside of the court and such an easygoing guy! Amazing tennis player and a good guy!

[@danschannel169]

That's awesome! Love his comment about room for improvement. He reminds me of Edberg with his classy character. I hope he wins the FO.

[@TheTennisMentor]

He’s as classy and humble as he comes across on TV, a really genuine guy.

[@SailingOnACrow]

one of my favorite things about sinner is the way he carries himself on court, keeps it really cool on and off

[@Wes1128]

Man what an experience! It’s so amazing to me even at half pace that the ball off Jannik’s racquet just sounds so pure. The way he strikes the ball, I could literally watch for hours. He might be the purest striker on the tour

[@sibanimishra2668]

This is Surreal😍 Always well mannered and polite.

[@TheTennisMentor]

Still pinching myself!

[@MikeB-1965]

I started following Yannik when Federer had some good things to say about him, because I was a huge fan of Fed. After seeing Yannik play, I noticed his power game is very entertaining and interesting to watch. After watching him for a few years now Yannik has become my favorite player. He's tennis skills are very obvious but I also really admire his cool attitude on and off court. He's always respectful and down-to-earth. Definitely a great role model! I hope he has many years of great success. Getting to hit with him had to be amazing. Definitely would be a highlight of my life as well.

Couldn’t agree more, he looks so nice and is one of the best players. What a gift for tennis fans 💪 great video!

[@PrecisionPointTennis]

Absolutely awesome!!! That’s how I felt back in 1983 playing with John McEnroe the first time! Blown away…but Sinner is something else!!!

[@davidhale8034]

Great input from Jannick, what a player, what a guy!

[@rouajohn]

Most important thing he said was to enjoy.....I can resonate with that so much after coming back to tennis after a 12 year absence (I used to play extremely competitive in high school/college), I stopped beating myself up so much and actually just enjoy being on the court. Win or lose, take something positive away and learn to get better. If you have fun playing, you will get better whether it being exhibition games, competitive matches, or practice.

[@justinspenceley818]

So so so happy you got to do this!! And thankyou for saying just how big a deal this was. You could easily play it down but I know how exited I would of been and it fills me with joy knowing you felt the same. Incredible to have the chance. You were great also. Welldone 😊😊😊

[@MrBolaextra]

Love Jannick, he's prob my favorite player alongside Alcaraz. I knew since he was 17 and winning Challengers that he would be a great champion. What a privilege to be able to hit with him. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. Also I'm a big fan of Head rackets. As a kid I played with the Radical because of my idol Agassi. Then I played with the first Speeds (the Youtek ones). Lately I've been playing with he Extreme Tour, can't wait to see the new version and your review of it.

Some of the young tennis stars are a credit to the sport, their families and themselves. Sinner and Alcaraz are particularly impressive in the way they carry themselves both on and off the course.
