The semi-final in Indian Wells between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz was not only characterized by fantastic rallies and great excitement, but also by a rain break that lasted almost three hours. That’s exactly where a scene occurred that caused a stir in the tennis world. And which gave Jannik Sinner a lot of sympathy.
When it started to rain in the California desert, the two stars retreated to the players’ bench and were greeted by two ball girls with an umbrella. While Alcaraz sat down and let the girl hold the umbrella, Sinner, like a gentleman, took the umbrella in his own hands and exchanged a few words with the girl.
“I have worked as a ball child for many top tennis players, but I am so happy to be able to do it for you,” said the visibly touched ball girl. An American commentator, on the other hand, said: “Who says that politeness is dead?” In any case, the video went viral online, the tenor of the many comments: Sinner is a true gentleman.
