The list of highest-paid tennis players in 2025 has officially been unveiled with multiple recognizable names at the top.

As expected, Jannik has decided to skip the mixed doubles tournament and is recharging his batteries before starting to practice in the Big Apple. Meanwhile, the defending champion was spotted walking in Manhattan with his fitness coach Umberto Ferrara and his sparring partner Inserra.

No one will be getting an early glimpse at the men’s world No.1 singles player in Flushing this year, nor an 11-time Grand Slam doubles champion.

It leaves Sinner battling to recover in time for the US Open singles, which gets underway this weekend. He is the defending champion, having beaten Taylor Fritz in last year's final. He will be desperate to retain his crown but will need to be in top condition in order to stand the best chance of success.

Nathan, a co-founder of the sports website Defector Media, has published “ Changeover: A Young Rivalry and a New Era of Men’s Tennis ” with Gallery Books. He spent the 2024 season squarely focused on Sinner and Alcaraz, in which they split the four majors and accelerated their ascension into a tennis stratosphere of their own creation.

Afterward, Sinner didn't have a traditional press conference. Instead, he was asked a couple of questions by the ATP media and provided answers. One of the things asked was if there was anything specific he wanted to work on going into the US Open.

Jannik defeated Terence Atmane in the semi-final in Ohio, celebrating his 200th ATP hard-court win and becoming the eighth-youngest player to achieve that in the Open era, standing right behind Rafael Nadal.
