The romantic vacation with girlfriend Anna Kalinskaya is now over. Sinner has been back in his adopted home of Monaco since Monday and is preparing for the Olympic Games on the local clay courts. The games will also be played on red clay.

The competition this year is top-class: In addition to Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, defending champion Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev and Rafael Nadal are also taking part. The Spaniard could have his last big appearance of his career in Paris - exactly in the place where Nadal celebrated his greatest successes.

Sinner's Olympic debut

Sinner is taking part in the Olympic Games for the first time this year, after having cancelled his participation in Tokyo 2021. This year, the 22-year-old is South Tyrol's big hope for a medal alongside volleyball player Simone Giannelli. Sinner will spend another week preparing for the Olympics in Monaco before the Sextner leaves for Paris next Tuesday.
