Cristiano Ronaldo, what a bad beat: Sinner completely ignored him, we just didn’t expect that.
That day his fellow citizens had been waiting for him for months. Ever since he had lifted his first Slam trophy to the sky in January. They knew well, however, that the Tour gives no respite to tennis players and that the celebrations could not have been contextual to their darling’s victory. They waited and waited again until, at last, Jannik Sinner was able to return to his beloved mountains.
That’s why the big party organized in his honor last Tuesday was so special. That’s why everyone, adults and children alike, looked forward to it with the enthusiasm reserved only for great occasions. And hardly, neither the adults nor the little ones, will forget the emotions of a day that will remain etched in their memories. Especially in that of the young pupils of the sports center, at which the azure went after signing the golden book in the town square.
Jannik has always had a soft spot for children and confirmed it on this occasion as well. He chatted with them for hours as long as he could. He also took the opportunity to tell those present some anecdotes that were in some ways unexpected, laying himself bare and revealing some details of his personality that we would never have found out about if he had not discussed with the talented little ones of Alta Pusteria.
Cristiano Ronaldo down from the tower: Sinner prefers Messi
He revealed that he prefers AC/DC to the South Tyrolean band Kastelruther Spatzen to begin with, which, at those altitudes, is in itself a pretty bold confession.
Then he stated that he prefers coke to water, which is also surprising considering that his career dictates a very strict healthy lifestyle. Finally, he spilled a secret to them that left many children speechless. In the atavistic challenge between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, Sinner does not side with the Portuguese: he admitted that he prefers the Argentine footballer. And who knows what he will think, CR7, should he happen to come across this statement that certainly does not play in his favor.
Finally, on the Formula 1 front, he cheers Ferrari: his favorite is Charles Leclerc, while his heart continues to beat for Valentino Rossi even now that he is no longer active in Moto GP.
