Incomprehensible Sinner, no one understands why.
He is wrong who believes that behind the scenes the atmosphere is sliced up. The truth, in fact, is that when they are not busy on the court, tennis players competing at the Atp Finals are having a blast. While the spotlight is off, they laugh and joke, tease each other, and build relationships that go far beyond rivalry.
And they are really close-knit, or so it seems, the champions who are fighting in Turin these days to win the title of Master among Masters. They put themselves on the line, and not only from a sporting point of view. This is evidenced by the fact that whenever the cameras and microphones of the Tour’s social team are lurking, none of them back down. They respond to everything and participate in any game, even the seemingly most bizarre one.
Like the one, for example, whose clip has been making the rounds on social in recent hours. The question was super simple, while the result, try it to believe, was absolutely hilarious. Yeah, just think what might have happened when the season’s top eight singles were asked to invent out of whole cloth a name for a hypothetical Italian restaurant. Some good things were seen – and heard – literally.
Sinner doesn’t go for it: he’s the only one who glossed over
The most pertinent response is that of Carlos Alcaraz, who would give a tricolor establishment the very simple but nonetheless impactful name “Trattoria de Carlitos.” Andrey Rublev, who admits to having a problem with names, shoots off a random one and says “Torino. ”
Alexander Zverev, evidently aware of Sinner’s success in the Bel Paese, played the joker but went off track with his “The Sinnester,” which is anything but an Italian name. Same for Taylor Fritz, who opts for self-referentiality and opts for a – not very thematic – “Fritzies.” Mention to the effort for Daniil Medvedev, who tried to come up with an original name but, unfortunately, patched it up like the others: his “Cantinenta Bodega,” though amusing, is to be reviewed. As is Casper Ruud’s “Enoteca,” hasty and uncreative in giving his answer.
Alex de Minaur says “Giovanni’s,” ignoring that the Saxon genitive, used like that, is not really typically Italian. But the real disappointment was the host, Jannik Sinner, who when asked about this game really botched it: “I have no idea,” he replied, “I will come back to you next time. No one can explain why he did not get into the game, as he is ironic and witty, but so be it. He has, evidently, no entrepreneurial aptitude.
