He made the tall, lanky boy from Sexten what he is now: Riccardo Piatti, the creator of Jannik Sinner, is celebrating his 62nd birthday today. His student congratulated them with a loving post on Instagram.

“First of all, I wish you a happy birthday,” begins the 19-year-old on Instagram. “I know that the best gift I can give you is not chocolate or a cake (even if you are incredibly fond of them), but victories,” writes Sinner. “Unfortunately I don’t have a game today, but, as you know, I’m in quarantine in my room in Sofia. So I can’t give you a present today. “

“Age is a number. Today it’s +1, so 62. But you don’t look at that because we all know that without this number you’re still a little boy. Your will to work in the field is huge. It doesn’t weigh you down, it makes you smile and that’s nice. I only wish you the best. ”As he himself said after the next-gen final in Milan, Sinner is not a man of big words. For his mentor, however, the Sextner proves something else in this homage.
