New images of Jannik Sinner’s photoshoot with Esquire magazine recently emerged. The World No. 1 was captured in greyscale, sporting stylish Gucci looks.
Sinner has been enjoying the spotlight not only in the tennis world but also in the world of fashion over the past couple of years. From his custom Gucci duffle bag debut at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships to his remarkable on-court dominance in 2024, the Italian has become a major talking point.
Jannik Sinner won a staggering eight titles this season, including his first two Grand Slams at the Australian Open and the US Open. With that, he became the youngest man to clinch two hardcourt Slams in the same season. He is also the only man to ever win two Grand Slams, the ATP Finals, and the Davis Cup title during the same campaign.
In tune with his growing popularity, the 23-year-old has featured on several magazine covers, from GQ Italia to Vanity Fair. The likes of well-known fashion magazines, Vogue and Esquire, have also written about the World No. 1.
Sinner, who is the global brand ambassador for Gucci, recently featured on the cover of Esquire Turkiye magazine. While a few shots were released by Esquire UK in November, new images from the shoot emerged on December 2. The tennis player was captured in black and white, wearing his Rolex GMT-Master II and sporting Gucci overcoats and jackets.

Jannik Sinner: “Results are the consequence of what you express on the court”
On December 2, Jannik Sinner kicked off his 26th consecutive week as the World No. 1. He presently enjoys a magnificent 3915-point lead over World No. 2 Alexander Zverev.
In his recent interview with Esquire, the Italian revealed whether having a ‘winning mentality’ has changed him as a person. He emphasized that results are the consequence of the efforts you put in on the court.
“We always talk about results. For me, they are the consequence of what you express on the court. When you are at a high level, if the body holds up, you don’t have to question yourself, because the results will certainly come,” he said.
Off the court, Jannik Sinner insisted he is a regular 23-year-old. He added that being surrounded by family and a team that understands you is essential.
“My family understands me, my team understands me, maybe even better than my parents. I find my peace of mind with them,” he said. “We live in hotel, planes; we travel all the time. They allow me to be the boy I am, and understand what I need.”
Following his historic 2024 campaign, Sinner is expected to commence his preseason training block in Dubai (mid-December). The World No. 1 will begin his 2025 journey at the Australian Open in January, where he is the defending champion.
