Panini, the renowned name in collectibles, has joined forces with tennis sensation Jannik Sinner to create an exceptional range of trading cards and memorabilia that commemorate his historic achievement of reaching the coveted World No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings.
Hailing from Modena, Italy, Jannik Sinner’s collaboration with Panini marks a special moment in both his career and the world of collectibles.
