The world's #1 tennis player grew up in Sexten, Italy (Sesto in Italian) — a remote mountain town of just 1,800 people in the Dolomites. In this film, I travel in Jannik Sinner's footsteps to uncover his remarkable origin story. I visit the two tennis clubs--Sport Sexten/Tennishalle and Tennisplatz Innichen-- where a young Sinner first picked up a racquet and meet his early tennis coaches, Andy Schoenegger and Heribert Mayr. I ski the very slopes of the 3 Zinnen Dolomites resort where he learned to carve turns as a boy — and sit down with Lee Egarter, his first ski coach, for a rare on-camera interview. She reveals that Sinner was already Italian champion in giant slalom at just 8 years old — and that skiing, not tennis, was his first love. I also hike deep into the spectacular Val Fiscalina valley to find Rifugio Fondovalle (Talschlusshütte in German) — the remote mountain hut where Sinner's father worked as a chef for years. And I have an unexpected encounter with someone who bears a striking resemblance to Sinner's mother at his childhood tennis club. How does a kid from a tiny alpine ski village become the greatest tennis player on earth? The answer is in Sexten. #JannikSinner #Dolomites #TennisOrigins #Sexten #SouthTyrol #TravelVlog #3Zinnen #TennisTalk #MadTraveler #tennis #tennislife #tenniscoach #tennisplayer #tennisnews #sexten #sesto #dolomiti #südtirol keywords: Sexten travel guide, Jannik Sinner ski background, visit South Tyrol 🎿 Filmed at 3 Zinnen Dolomites Dolomites / Tre Cime Ski Resort, Sexten (Sesto), South Tyrol, Italy.
