Jannik Sinner: ‘I’m just a normal person who plays good tennis’
It's been whirlwind 2024 for men's tennis star, Jannik Sinner.
The Italian won his first Grand Slam at the Australian Open in January and replaced Novak Djokovic at the top of the world rankings earlier in June.
He will be the top seed at Wimbledon, which begins on 1 July, as he looks to go one step further than his semi-final showing from last year.
He told Sportworld’s Lee James about how his life has changed over the last year and his hopes for the Paris Olympic Games.
