Jannik Sinner was all smiles following his 20th consecutive ATP Masters 1000 victory on Friday at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters and his mood was boosted further when he caught up with Formula 1 star George Russell.
Russell watched Sinner’s straight sets win against Felix Auger-Aliassime from the Italian's box and then enjoyed a brief chat with the 24-year-old after. The two stars shared a handshake and a laugh, quickly slipping into a quick easy conversation.
