Jannik Sinner has landed in Beijing ahead of the 2024 China Open. The Italian was recently spotted at the airport, accompanied for the first time by Novak Djokovic’s former team members—fitness coach Marco Panichi and physiotherapist Ulises Badio.
Sinner, the recently crowned US Open champion, returned to Italy after his glory in New York. Enjoying some down time, he attended his sponsor Gucci’s show at the Milan Fashion Week. During his stay in the Italian city, the World No. 1 also trained on the local courts with his coach Simone Vagnozzi.Following the brief visit, Jannik Sinner has arrived in Beijing for the upcoming China Open (September 26-October 2). The ATP 500 tournament marks Sinner’s first appearance since winning the US Open. He is the defending champion at the event.
Interestingly, it will also be the first time Marco Panichi and Ulises Badio cheer him on from the players’ box. The team was greeted by fans and organizers at the Beijing airport on Sunday, September 22.
Sinner confirmed the duo’s addition to the team last week, having announced his split from former fitness coach Umberto Ferrara and physiotherapist Giacomo Naldi before the US Open.Ferrara and Naldi’s exit came as a result of Jannik Sinner’s doping controversy, where it was established that the duo’s errors led to the Italian’s two positive tests in March.
