Panini, the renowned collectibles company, has joined forces with Italian tennis sensation Jannik Sinner to commemorate his historic achievement of reaching the top spot in the ATP world rankings. The exclusive collaboration is set to celebrate Sinner’s remarkable journey in the world of tennis with a variety of unique and limited-edition collectibles that fans can treasure.
The partnership between Panini and Sinner traces back to 2022 when they released the book “Piccoli grandi campioni – Manuale illustrato del tennis di Jannik Sinner,” shedding light on Sinner’s tennis skills and early experiences in the sport. The collaboration further blossomed with the whimsical transformation of Sinner into the playful “duckified” character, “Quacknik Spinner,” featured on the cover of Topolino magazine by Panini Comics in May 2024.
Expressing his joy over the collaboration, Sinner fondly recalled his childhood days spent collecting Panini stickers and reading their comics. He emphasized his excitement at engaging with his fans through the diverse range of Panini products that pay tribute to his successful tennis career.
The first collectible to be released under this partnership is the Panini Instant trading card, which celebrates Sinner’s phenomenal achievement in securing the No. 1 position in the ATP rankings. This exclusive card will be available for purchase solely on the Panini America platform, offering fans a chance to own a piece of history. Following the launch of the trading card, Panini has plans to introduce a series of special collections dedicated to Sinner. These collections will feature rare memorabilia and limited-edition cards, catering to fans worldwide through Panini’s online store and selected retail outlets.
The announcement of this collaboration sets the stage for an exciting array of releases scheduled for 2024 and beyond, ensuring that fans can continue to celebrate and cherish Sinner’s outstanding accomplishments. Stay tuned for more updates on the exclusive partnership between Panini and Jannik Sinner as they unveil further surprises and collectibles for fans of the sport and the rising tennis star.
