Joseph Sirianni started playing tennis at age four at Our Lady of the Nativity Primary School in Essendon. He wanted to join in after watching his brothers and sisters receive coaching and, little did he know, Joe would turn professional more than a decade down the track at age 21.

His tennis heroes are John McEnroe, Patrick Rafter and Andre Agassi and when he’s not playing tennis, Joe enjoys spending time with his friends at the beach.

He enjoys house and funk music, would like to meet Rod Laver and Angelina Jolie and, if not for tennis, he would have studied building and construction.
