Dubai: What truly sets champions apart isn't just winning — it's staying grounded after the victory. Jannik Sinner, who recently clinched the Wimbledon title by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in a thrilling final, exemplifies this mindset. Despite reaching the pinnacle of tennis, the World No. 1 was recently seen washing his new Ferrari 812, a moment that captured his down-to-earth nature.

In 2024, Sinner emerged as one of the highest-paid tennis players globally, with Forbes estimating his net worth at over $25 million — a result of both his on-court triumphs and lucrative endorsements.

With his Wimbledon win and becoming the first Italian ever to reach No. 1 in the ATP rankings, Sinner is set to boost his earnings even further. His victory at the All England Club alone netted him more than $4 million.

Though based in Monte Carlo, Monaco — a hub for elite tennis pros — Sinner remains remarkably grounded. He has endorsement deals with top-tier brands like Nike, Head, Rolex, Gucci, Panini, Lavazza, Intesa Sanpaolo Assicura, and FastWeb S.p.A. These partnerships brought in $15 million in 2024, making up a significant portion of his wealth.
