Jannik Sinner, the world's No. 2 tennis player, has once again made a fashion statement on the court, this time with a one-of-a-kind duffle bag designed by Gucci in collaboration with his racquet sponsor, Head. The bag, which features Head's performance materials and Gucci's signature green and red Web stripe, is a testament to the growing partnership between the Italian tennis star and the luxury fashion house.
Sinner's partnership with Gucci began in 2022, when he became the brand's global ambassador. However, Gucci's ties to tennis extend back to the 1970s, when the brand unveiled its first tennis-inspired pieces. Gucci's visionary decision to sign Sinner, then a rising star ranked outside the Top 10, has proven to be a wise one, as he has since ascended to the top of the game and become a national hero in Italy.
Last year, Sinner made history by bringing Gucci's signature monogram duffle bag on court at Wimbledon, with the brand receiving special approval from the ATP, ITF, and Wimbledon. The bag has since become a symbol of Sinner's unique style and the growing influence of fashion in the world of tennis.
Sinner's latest on-court accessory is a testament to the continued collaboration between Gucci and Head. The bag perfectly blends sportswear and luxury fashion, featuring both Head's leading performance materials and Gucci's signature design elements. Sinner is set to carry the bag at all competitions this season, further solidifying his status as a fashion icon in the world of tennis.
Beyond his fashion sense, Sinner is also a formidable competitor on the court. Despite struggling with a hip injury in recent weeks, he made a strong return at Roland Garros, defeating Christopher Eubanks in straight sets. The victory boosted confidence in Sinner's quest for a second Grand Slam title and put him back in the running to finish the fortnight as the ATP's new world No. 1.
Sinner's next challenge will be against France's Richard Gasquet on Court Philippe Chatrier in the second round at Roland Garros. With his unique style and determination, Sinner is poised to make a deep run in the tournament and continue his ascent to the top of the tennis world.
