“The first racket of the world conducted the first training on the central court”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
On May 5, on the day of completion of his three -month disqualification, for the filled stands (almost 5000 spectators) under the loud exclamations “Ole, Ole, Ole, Sinner!” He trained with the 38th Rusta Rusta racket.
The training, which was broadcast on local television, took place after a ceremony in honor of Italy’s national teams, which last year won Davis Cup and Billy Cup Gin King.
Both trophy bowls were exhibited in the arena, and the audience on the Central Court performed the anthem of Italy.
For the first time, Italy will be presented on home masters by player number one in world tennis. However, Jannik Sinner admitted that it is difficult for him to explain why so much attention was drawn to him.
“I don’t know. Honestly, I think I’m just an ordinary 23-year-old guy. I play tennis well, but I don’t change the world, ”he said. – “I always remember that I am from a small town with a population of 2000 people. Being here in Rome, and playing so many people is a great honor. ”
Due to the fact that the Vatican on Wednesday begins the election of a new Pope, the return of Sinner gave rise to headings in the local press: “Habemus sinner!” – a variation of the Latin statement “Habemus Paapam!”, Which is proclaimed from the balcony of St. Peter’s Cathedral after the Pope’s election.
Rarely, when the athlete was met with such a hype after doping disqualification.
