"Time to ask Rafa for golf lessons"- Fans react to Jannik Sinner taking a swing at golf

Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner tried his hand at golf on the first day of the off-season. The 23-year-old attempted to play golf in his dad's presence, who couldn't hold back a chuckle in reaction to his shot.

The World No. 1 tennis star's golfing skills are far from his prowess on the tennis court. Sinner stood on the practice range with a driver in his hand. Even though his swing looked decent, he couldn't make contact with the ball as the club remained under the ball.

The ball popped out from the tee, prompting everyone, including Jannik Sinner, to burst into laughter. Sinner's coach Darren Cahill shared this video on his Instagram story, which was later reposted by The Tennis Letter on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption:

Fans loved watching Jannik Sinner try his hand at golf and reacted to this hilarious video by sharing their thoughts.

"Time to ask Rafa for golf lessons."

"Golfing comedy gold, won't take him long to perfect it."

A fan advised him and said he should play left-handed, and even guaranteed Jannik Sinner would be breaking 100 in a week.

"He needs to play left-handed I guarantee he will be breaking 100 in a week he’s the #1 tennis player in the world with an unbelievable backhand he shouldn’t play right-handed," a fan advised.

Another X user said golf is humbling.

"Nothing is more humbling than golf," a fan wrote.

A prominent golfing media personality, Dan Rappaport, also quoted this tweet and wrote that golf makes world-class athletes look clueless.

"Number 1 tennis player on the planet. No sport makes world-class athletes look as clueless as golf," he wrote.

"Golf is such a frustrating game," another fan said.
