Sinner is currently chasing the Sunshine Double, having beaten Daniil Medvedev in the Indian Wells final earlier this month. He would be the eighth man to win Indian Wells and Miami Open in the same season, a feat that Aryna Sabalenka has just achieved.
Sabalenka beat home favorite Coco Gauff to lift the trophy in Miami, having done the same against Elena Rybakina earlier this month. Sinner is now aiming to follow suit, with his practice session with WTA star Paolini getting the nod of approval from Boris Becker.

Jannik practicing with Jasmine. ” A fan then responded to the German with the question: “Did you ever practice with Steffi [Graf]? ” And Becker responded: “Many times!
” Becker clinched a superb six Grand Slam titles during his glittering career, as well as reaching number one in the rankings. His fellow German Graf is also a former world number one, with the legendary figure boasting a massive 22 Grand Slam titles. That is just one behind fellow legend Serena Williams, and two behind all-time women’s leader Margaret Court, who is joined by men’s hero Novak Djokovic on 24.
