Wimbledon favourite Jannik Sinner has warmed up for the tournament by enjoying a taste of London high society with Taylor Swift’s ex Joe Alwyn and actress Poppy Delevingne.
Wimbledon favourite Jannik Sinner has warmed up for the tournament by enjoying a taste of London high society with Taylor Swift’s ex Joe Alwyn and actress Poppy Delevingne.
The world number one, who is just 22, attended a private dinner hosted by Gucci at Mayfair’s Mount St. Restaurant in his honour ahead of Wimbledon’s July 1 start.
Sinner, from Italy, is a global ambassador for the fashion brand and made headlines at last summer’s tournament when his Gucci kit bag became the first luxury bag to be brought out at the championships, in a departure from the historic all-white kit rule.
As well as Alwyn, 33, and Delevingne, 38, the Australian Open champion was welcomed to the British capital on Wednesday by Hollywood star Salma Hayek and Barbie actor Ryan Gosling.
Alwyn is said to have inspired several songs on US megastar Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.
Sinner arrived in London after a successful warm up at Germany’s Halle Open last week.
His skill on the court combined with his looks have also earned him a partnership with iconic Italian car marque Ferrari.
On top of the lucrative brand deals, the tennis star earned a whopping £1.65million by winning his first slam in January’s Australian Open.
He defeated the formidable Novak Djokovic on the way to edging out Daniil Medvedev in the Melbourne showpiece final.
Since that triumph, he reached the semi finals in this month’s French Open, only losing to eventual winner Carlos Alcaraz in five sets.
His star has shone so brightly in recent years that he has his own fanbase, known as the the ‘Carota Boys’ or ‘Carrot Boys’ after his red hair.
He will begin his campaign to be crowned Wimbledon champion against the unseeded German, and namesake, Yannick Hanfmann.
Mayfair’s Mount St. Restaurant is a luxurious venue where tables are set against artworks by Henry Matisse and Lucien Freud.
Dinner and drinks at Mount St. sets you back roughly £150 per person.
