Breaking News: Jannik Sinner Shocks Tennis World with Major Announcement
March 24, 2025 – Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner has surprised fans with two major announcements that could shape the future of his career. In a move that caught many off guard, the World No. 1 revealed that he is parting ways with his long-time agent and management team while also signing a landmark five-year contract with the prestigious Italian Open.
End of an Era: Sinner Splits from Long-Time Management
Sinner announced his split from StarWing Sports and agent Lawrence Frankopan, marking the end of a five-year partnership that helped guide his meteoric rise. The 23-year-old tennis sensation expressed gratitude for their support but stated he is now moving forward with AVIMA Sports and Business Management.
The decision comes amid a turbulent period in Sinner’s career, as he is currently serving a three-month suspension due to a doping violation. His ban, which began in February, is set to end in May—just in time for the French Open.
Despite this setback, Sinner remains one of the most dominant players in tennis, and his next move proves he is planning for the long term.
A Historic Commitment to the Italian Open
In addition to the management shakeup, Sinner made headlines by signing a five-year contract with the Italian Open, ensuring his participation in the tournament through 2029. This agreement reinforces his deep connection with his home country and its most prestigious tennis event, held annually in Rome.
“Playing in Rome is always special,” Sinner said. “The energy and passion of the Italian crowd are unmatched, and I’m honored to be part of this tournament for the foreseeable future.”
The deal makes Sinner one of the key ambassadors for the event, guaranteeing his presence at a tournament that has been instrumental in his early career. His participation is expected to boost ticket sales, sponsorships, and overall viewership, further elevating the Italian Open’s status on the ATP Tour.
What’s Next for Sinner?
With his suspension ending soon, Sinner’s focus will be on returning to competition in peak form. The Italian Open contract ensures he will have a consistent home-stage presence, but fans are eagerly waiting to see how he performs in upcoming Grand Slam events.
This dual announcement—his management change and long-term commitment to the Italian Open—signals that Jannik Sinner is not only thinking about his immediate comeback but also laying the foundation for his legacy in Italian tennis.
Stay tuned for more updates as Sinner prepares for his highly anticipated return to the court in May 2025.
