He concluded the ATP Finals in Turin as a great protagonist even if defeated and now Jannik Sinner enjoys his celebration. “What a special week! – he commented on Instagram the blue -. Playing at home in front of the Italian public It’s an incredible emotion that can’t be described with words. I could never have imagined such an atmosphere that would give me goosebumps. Thank you very much Torino, thanks to the Italian fans. Now we’re off to the Davis Cup.”
The frost during the awards ceremony
But while the South Tyrolean prepares to crown a season as a protagonist with the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga (scheduled for November 21st to 26th) is viral on social media the video of the frost with the “legend” Nicola Pietrangeli during the awards ceremony for the ATP Finals in Turin. What happened? Pietrangeli approaches Sinner for the ritual photos of the awards ceremony after the final lost to Novak Djokovic, but the blue one looks at him and remains impassive.
Sinner’s forfeit in Davis and Pietrangeli’s criticisms
After Sinner’s pass for the Davis stage in Bologna and the related controversies about the motivations (“I didn’t have enough time to recover after the tournaments in America”), Pietrangeli had called for a “disqualification for one year”. “Whoever refuses and then goes to play a tournament elsewhere should be disqualified. If someone refuses because they are ill for goodness sake, but who refuses and then plays another tournamentthen the federation should disqualify him for at least a year”, Pietrangeli said in September. Words that perhaps Sinner has not forgotten.
“Sinner won 4 or 5 tournaments and I won 48 tournaments”
During the program A Sheep’s Daythe former Italian champion then declared: “Is he stronger or I? It’s a comparison that can’t be made. I’ll just say that Sinner won 4 or 5 tournaments and I won 48 tournaments, although not all of them are very important. Here, then we’ll talk about it…”. Then Pietrangeli himself added: “Sinner was very good, he is 22 years old, he has 10 years to win, you just have to compliment him. Yesterday after the awards ceremony I told him ‘well done, you have your whole life ahead of you’. And he wasn’t actually sad.”
