Jannik Sinner co-hosts ritzy London dinner with Gucci at Claridge's ahead of Wimbledon

The famous Claridge's hotel became Jannik Sinner house ahead of Wimbledon. The world No. 1 hosted a ritzy dinner at the iconic locale earlier this week in partnership with Italian fashion house Gucci, for which he has been an ambassador since 2022.

Ahead of topping the men's draw at the All England Club, Sinner traded his Wimbledon whites for head-to-toe olive green, and hosted a star-studded crowd in a room adorned with fresh pink dahlias and peonies.

Guests included Academy Award nominee Paul Mescal, 'The Crown' star Erin Doherty, and 'Stranger Things' actor Joe Keery.

Surrounded by A-listers who are more than comfortable in front of a camera, Sinner said that his partnership with the legendary brand has emboldened his own style and flair.

“I feel very privileged and honored to be an ambassador of such a prestigious Italian brand known for its class, elegance and innovation,” Sinner said. “Thanks to my partnership with Gucci, I’m starting to get to know the world of fashion and all the hard work behind the beautiful products we see on the catwalk and in the stores.”

The evening was a far cry from the "simple family time" and hometown barbecue Sinner said he needed to get over the hearbreak of losing a five-set epic to rival Carlos Alcaraz in the Roland Garros final earlier this month, a match in which he failed to convert three championship points. According to a report in *Vogue*, guests "sipped on perfectly poured Negronis with giant Gucci-embossed ice cubes," and enjoyed a dinner of seasonal asparagus, Cornish brill (a type of flatfish) and lemon vacherin, a layered meringue dessert.

But after he was sent packing from the Terra Wortmann Open in the second round by Alexander Bublik (the eventual champion, Sinner proclaimed he's ready for what's next as he seeks to take the trophy home from SW19 for the first time. Eying revenge against Alcaraz, Sinner will have to navigate a path in the top half of the draw that could include Tommy Paul, 2024 Wimbledon semifinalist Lorenzo Musetti, and either Novak Djokovic or Jack Draper (or even Bublik again).
