In a 2024 interview with ATPtour.com, Lindsey Vonn expressed her excitement about the career journey of the Italian athlete who grew up a competitive skier- Jannik Sinner. She shared how thrilled she was to see him win his first major title at the 2024 Australian Open.

Vonn said:

"I always thought it was really special that he was a former ski racer, and that's obviously where we connected. He's a pretty shy guy, but he's really humble and always super kind. I think he was just a great perspective on the sport, and I think, to a degree, some of that comes from skiing. We've talked about it quite a few times."

Lindsey Vonn further added:

"He's just a great athlete, very smart and I'm not surprised that he won Australia. I thought he would win before he did, but he's someone that's going to be around for a long time. And he really reminds me of Roger, to be honest."

Sinner won his first Australia Open title in March 2024 at Melbourne Park. He defeated Daniil Medvedev, with 6-4,6-4,6.3 in the final.
