Jannik Sinner shares tennis court with disabled fan for inspirational practice in Monte Carlo

In the midst of a meteoric rise, Jannik Sinner made time in his busy schedule for a special fan as he prepares to play the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters.

Arthur Delaye (@ArthurDelaye on Twitter/X) shared footage of a practice session with Sinner on Saturday; Delaye lives with cerebral palsy but has refused to allow his disability to keep him from pursuing his passion for tennis.

“Today, I shared an amazing practice with @janniksin at @ROLEXMCMASTERS,” Delaye wrote.

“Thank you Jannik for this game together I will never forget this moment and I will keep going 🎾”

Delaye has also gotten the chance to practice with Stan Wawrinka, sharing the moment on social media last fall when Wawrinka was training for the Rolex Paris Masters in October.

Sinner is in Monte Carlo after a wildly successful first quarter, including a maiden major victory at the Australian Open and a Masters 1000 run at the Miami Open. Up to a career-high of No. 2, Sinner will anchor the bottom half of the Monte Carlo draw opposite top seed Novak Djokovic.

Off the court, Sinner was featured in a flashy *Vogue* spread dressed in Gucci while surpassing 20 million dollars in prize money.

Earning a bye into Monte Carlo’s second round, the 22-year-old will open against either Sebastian Korda or Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
