Three days ahead of the 2025 Wimbledon championships, several stars attended the Gucci dinner co-hosted by Jannik Sinner at Claridge’s in London.
The Italian currently holds the No.1 spot in the ATP rankings and will be looking to improve on his semifinal finish (2023) at the All England Club and clinch his fourth Grand Slam title and first Wimbledon crown.

For those unfamiliar, the Italian tennis star is also a global brand ambassador for Gucci, and this isn’t the first time the luxury brand has honored Sinner. Last year, a similar high-profile dinner was hosted at Mount St. Restaurant in London, drawing Hollywood heavyweights like Ryan Gosling and Salma Hayek.

Sinner made waves at Wimbledon in 2023 when he became the first player to walk onto Centre Court carrying a luxury designer ball bag, subtly defying the tournament’s famously rigid all-white dress code.

The moment caused a stir in the tennis world and beyond, ultimately inspiring Gucci’s 1980s-themed ‘Is a Feeling’ campaign, shot by Riccardo Raspa. In one of the campaign’s standout images, Sinner was seen holding a sleek white version of the now-iconic bag, effortlessly merging classic tradition with bold, modern flair.
With expectations high for the 2025 Australian Open winner to make a major impact at Wimbledon, the evening was a stylish nod to his meteoric rise and evolving status as a global icon.
At the 138th edition of the grass court extravaganza, his run of consecutive Grand Slams as the No. 1 seed will continue, while arch-rival Carlos Alcaraz will be the second seed.

The Italian was also the top seed at the previous four Grand Slams and has held the World No. 1 spot since June 2024.
However, he has never made it past the semifinals, a streak he will look to break when he starts his grass-court Major campaign, facing compatriot Luca Nardi in the opening round.
