From the serene town of Modena, Italy, a tennis prodigy has ascended the ranks of the ATP ladder, making history along the way. Jannik Sinner, the first Italian to claim the coveted World No. 1 spot in men’s tennis, has captured the attention of fans worldwide. In celebration of this remarkable achievement, Panini has forged a captivating partnership with the rising star.
The collaboration between Panini and Sinner commenced in 2022 with the release of “Piccoli grandi campioni – Manuale illustrato del tennis di Jannik Sinner” by Panini Comics. This illustrated manual delves into the intricacies of tennis techniques while offering glimpses into Sinner’s formative years in the sport. Adding a whimsical touch to the mix, Sinner was also featured as “Quacknik Spinner” on the cover of the renowned Topolino magazine, a playful homage by Panini Comics in May 2024.
Expressing his joy at the partnership, Sinner fondly recalled his childhood days spent collecting Panini stickers and immersing himself in their comic book world. He eagerly anticipates the opportunity to forge deeper connections with his fans through Panini’s unique and engaging collectibles.
The inaugural product roll-out from this collaboration will be an exclusive Panini Instant trading card commemorating Sinner’s extraordinary journey to the pinnacle of men’s tennis. This limited-edition card will be exclusively available on the Panini America platform, offering fans a chance to own a piece of tennis history. Following this release, Panini has ambitious plans to unveil a series of trading card collections dedicated to Sinner. These collections will feature rare memorabilia and limited-edition cards, catering to fans globally through Panini’s extensive e-commerce network and select retail partners.
As the partnership between Panini and Jannik Sinner continues to bloom, fans can look forward to an array of immersive releases scheduled for 2024 and beyond.
