In addition to having silenced the criticisms and controversies against him, Jannik Sinner did even better by transforming them into praise.
Two and a half months after being harshly criticized by part of the Italian press for having missed the Italian team’s Davis Cup gathering a few days after the US Open and a grueling American tour, the Italian brought everyone into agreement by lifting the silver bowl as leader of his nation.
As a result, the Gazzetta dello Sport, which had dedicated the front page of its weekly to him in September with the title “National Affair”, completely changed course in its December issue.
“The Sinner effect” headlined the Italian daily which also added that “Jannik took Italy to the top of the world rankings and reignited his passion. Now the children dream of becoming like him. »
La Gazzetta dello Sport sure has changed their tune about Jannik Sinner.
1st headline – ‘Why the number one of our tennis wrong about saying no to Davis Cup. The big champions of the past, from Pietrangeli to Panatta, explain that you don’t turn down the national team.’
