While Jannik Sinner is currently the best men’s tennis player, he found out that he isn’t a jack of all trades. The Italian has excelled on the tennis court this season, winning eight titles. He recently tried his hand at golf with his father Hanspeter Sinner and his poor golfing skills resulted in a hilarious failure.
The 2024 season will be remembered for Sinner’s excellence. The 23-year-old began the year by winning his first Grand Slam at the Australian Open. He ended the season claiming his second Grand Slam at the US Open and finished with a mind-blowing 73-6 win-loss record with an impressive 92.4% win percentage.
In October, Sinner pocketed the biggest tennis prize money in history, $6 million, after winning the Six Kings Slam exhibition tournament. Now, with the 2024 season over, Sinner took to the golf course with his coach Darren Cahill and his father.
In a viral video on social media, the World No. 1 lined up for a swing but hilariously didn’t make contact with the ball. The US Open champion’s poor swing made his father burst into laughter as he moved to try again. He then asked what to do as it seemed hard for him to get a clean swing.
Hey, what do I hit the floor with? This is hard!

Sinner ended the season at the top of his game and having lost just three matches from August to November. In the same period, he won four titles, including the US Open. For the first time in his career, Sinner finished as the year-end World No. 1.
