Italian tennis stars Jasmine Paolini and Jannik Sinner are both making waves at the 2025 Rome Masters, but it was their off-court interaction that grabbed attention this week. Paolini, known for her strong performances in the WTA circuit, opened up about her first encounter with the rising men’s tennis star, Sinner.
When the two crossed paths at the iconic Italian tournament, Paolini, who is known for her friendly and approachable demeanor, wasted no time in making a memorable impression. In an interview, she revealed the first thing she said to Sinner when they met at the prestigious venue. Paolini joked that her initial words were a mix of admiration and encouragement, commenting on how impressed she was by his game. “I told him, ‘You’re playing so well, I hope you’ll win here one day,’” she recalled with a smile.
Sinner, who has earned global recognition for his powerful game and impressive rise through the ATP rankings, responded positively to Paolini’s compliment. Both players have become symbols of Italian tennis success, and their camaraderie highlights the close-knit nature of the sport, especially when athletes from the same country rise to prominence in different categories.
This candid moment between the two adds to the growing narrative of the Italian tennis scene, where both Paolini and Sinner continue to inspire each other and fans alike. The Rome Masters has not only been a showcase for their talents but also a platform for new friendships to bloom on the tennis circuit.
