Maria Sharapova and Yannick Sinner sang a Christmas carol together

Sinner and Sharapova became friends thanks to Riccardo Piatti, who coached the Italian for eight years and was close to the Russian at the end of her career.

Masha took advantage of Grishnyk’s triumph at the Australian Open 2024 and published a video of herself singing a Christmas carol with him.

“I knew you’d regret it one day. Congratulations, champion! Patience, poise and class,” Sharapova wrote on Twitter.

It will become known after the final of the Australian Open 2024 between Sinner and Medvedev

  • Yannick Sinner became the first tennis player from Italy to win the Australian Open.
