At 22 years old, Jannik Sinner has already achieved remarkable accomplishments. The Italian tennis player is the top-ranked men's player and has earned multiple brand deals. One of those partnerships has been with Gucci since 2022.

Perhaps, most impressively, Sinner earned a shout-out from Salma Hayek on Instagram. This week, the legendary actress attended an event hosted by Gucci in honor of Sinner at Mount St. Restaurant in London.

Like Sinner, Hayek has a longstanding relationship with Gucci. After the event, she posted pictures of the event on Instagram with the caption, "celebrating @janniksin with @Gucci for the upcoming @wimbledon tournament #tennis."

Sinner has been on a meteoric rise since winning the Australian Open earlier this year. It was his first Grand Slam victory, which he followed up with a semi-final appearance at the French Open and victory at the Halle Open.

Sinner has a match record of 38–3 this year, heading into Wimbledon. Last year, Sinner lost to Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the semi-finals at Wimbledon. However, this year looks more promising for the rising star.
