“My role model is Federer, but I still have a lot to do.” The day after his first Slam, Jannik Sinner enjoys the Melbourne sun, and tries to realize “what I have done, only now I can do it”.
The ‘day after’ of the youngest Australian Open winner since Djokovic’s first title is a cup party at the Royal Botanical Garden in Melbourne.
“Djokovic’s 10 titles? I don’t think about it, he’s from another series – he says – I think I still have a lot to do. My role model has always been Federer, not only for his class but for the way he presents himself: the important thing is to surround yourself with the best people and face everything with a smile.”

The Pope: ‘Congratulations to Italy for Sinner’s victory’
Receiving today in an audience in the Vatican a delegation from the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona, on the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the sports club, Pope Francis, ‘off the cuff’ before continuing his reflection, congratulated the Italians for the victory, yesterday at ‘Australian Open, by Jannik Sinner. This was reported by Vatican News.
It is also possible to draw life lessons from tennis, said the Pontiff, underlining in his speech in Spanish that sport offers opportunities “for the growth of every person and of society”. Francesco highlighted that in tennis, an individual or couple sport and not a team sport, “it would seem that the challenge between players has to do above all with the desire to prevail over the opponent”, but “in reality, since its English origin , is an expression of the founders’ openness to what good could come from the outside and to a dialogue with other cultures”.

“In tennis, as in life, we cannot always win – he stated -, but it will be an enriching challenge if, by playing politely and according to the rules, we learn that it is not a fight but a dialogue that involves our effort and allows us to improve. Conceive sport a little not only as combat but also as dialogue. There is a dialogue which, in the case of tennis, often becomes artistic”. For the Pontiff it is a teaching on which to reflect more broadly, looking within oneself. “On the playing field, as on that of existence , sometimes we feel alone, other times supported by those who play this game of life with us – he observed -. But, even when we play ‘singles’, we are always in the presence of the Lord who teaches us what respect, understanding and the need for constant communication with others means.”
Finally, the Pope recommended taking human and spiritual development into consideration first and foremost when working with children in sport, “who dream of a sporting future of excellence”, because “sport must help in this”, and underlined that “the needs of training cannot prevail over their integral growth”. Hence the invitation to take care of the little ones, of those “who can benefit from the values of sport in complex social environments” and also of those who could be successful in high-level competitions.
