At just 22 years old, Italy's Jannik Sinner has emerged as one of the most formidable players on the ATP Tour. Known for his powerful shots and agility, Sinner has maintained a composed and cheerful demeanor throughout his rapid ascent in the world of professional tennis. His journey began at age 14, and by 17, he had already captured multiple titles on the ATP Challenger Tour. His breakthrough into the top 100 came in 2019, a year highlighted by his victories at the Next Generation ATP Finals and earning the ATP Newcomer of the Year award.

In 2023, Sinner clinched his first Masters 1000 title at the Canadian Open, and he opened 2024 with a major milestone, winning the Australian Open. This victory was not only his first Grand Slam title but also made him the first Italian, male or female, to win the Australian Open singles title, and the third Italian man to win a major—the first in nearly five decades.

Sinner's success continued with wins at the ATP Rotterdam Open and the Miami Open in early 2024. His win in Rotterdam marked his 200th career victory, making him the first player born in the 2000s to reach this landmark. The Miami Open victory was his second Masters 1000 title. During this period, he also set a record for Italian players with 19 consecutive match wins.

His outstanding performance at Roland Garros propelled him to the top of the ATP rankings, marking him as the first Italian ever to achieve this feat. Coinciding with this achievement, Panini announced a multi-year partnership with Sinner, encompassing collectible trading cards, autographed memorabilia, game gear, books, and digital collections.

The first product under this new agreement is a Panini Instant card celebrating Sinner's ascension to the world's No. 1 ranking. This card, along with future collections dedicated to Sinner, featuring memorabilia and limited-edition items, will be available globally through Panini's online e-commerce network and select stores.

Fans and collectors should keep an eye out for more releases featuring Sinner as Panini continues to roll out new products throughout 2024 and beyond.
