A Winning Serve: Inside Baccarat’s Third Annual Petit Slam

This year, the spotlight shone on Grand Slam champions Jannik Sinner and Naomi Osaka, who swapped the court for the crystal-clad stage of Baccarat.
The two superstars faced off across a custom ping pong table adorned with a dazzling Baccarat crystal net. With Emmy-nominated writer and bestselling author Gary Janetti presiding as referee, the match unfolded as a spirited showdown of precision, wit, and playful rivalry. Guests cheered as the sets grew more competitive, with Sinner ultimately securing the victory in two out of three sets.

Beyond the match, the celebration was carried out through the Petit Salon and Grand Salon. Guests were treated to tennis-inspired bites and cocktails while testing their own ping pong skills, blending camaraderie and competition with the timeless elegance of Baccarat.
 

From the sparkling chandeliers to the spirited volleys, this year’s Petit Slam once again captured the essence of sport and sophistication. With champions like Sinner and Osaka gracing the table, and Janetti keeping the play as stylish as it was spirited, the evening was nothing short of unforgettable.

Here’s to another year of elegance, sportsmanship, and just the right touch of friendly competition at Baccarat Hotel New York. See you courtside next year.
