Jannik Sinner, Emma Navarro Form Unexpected US Open Mixed Doubles Team

Jannik Sinner is set to begin his Wimbledon campaign against fellow Italian Luca Nardi and will also partner with Emma Navarro in the US Open mixed doubles, a pairing both players only recently formed without prior communication. The US Open mixed doubles event, moved to a standalone schedule to attract top singles players, has brought together several unexpected teams, including Sinner/Navarro and Carlos Alcaraz with Emma Raducanu. Sinner has expressed respect for Navarro's volleying skills and hopes not to disappoint her despite their lack of prior coordination. Besides tennis, Sinner recently collaborated with Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli on a duet, reflecting on their shared values during a period when Sinner was sidelined from competition. Additionally, Sinner made a significant change to his support team by parting ways with his longtime fitness trainer and physiotherapist, indicating a desire for new dynamics ahead of Wimbledon. Novak Djokovic has also praised Sinner's sportsmanship following his recent French Open final defeat to Carlos Alcaraz, highlighting his composure after a grueling match.
