The announcement about Sinner upsets fans’ plans. Not everyone read it positively. And on social media they went wild
The world number one showed up, as captain Volandri had also anticipated, in Bologna, Italy, to follow his teammates closely in the Davis Cup.
Won access for the final round in Malaga, we saw a Sinner who was exalted by the performance of his teammates and who never failed to contribute to the team. Close to everyone, from the oldest to the youngest. Even if, to some, it put a little pressure on his shoulders. Playing in front of the strongest tennis player of the moment and the strongest Italian player ever and who still has years and years of career ahead of him, is not easy for anyone. Let alone for that young man Flavio Cobolli who, at the end of the match, joked like this. Yes, it is a joke, but on social media, as too often happens, it was read very differently from reality. And this is not good.
Cobolli’s words on Sinner
Intervened at the end of his match at the microphones of Rai Sport, Cobolli was asked, precisely, what it is like to play in front of the strongest of all. “As Matteo said, Jannik also put some pressure on me (answering the reporter’s question). Good thing he left,” he said, hinting at a smile. A real joke, a joke that made many but not everyone smile.
Yes, because as anticipated earlier on social media not everyone took it well. Jannik’s most ardent fans have heard words that honestly do not correspond with what is the reality of the facts. Yet even in this case the fuse was lit, despite the fact that the Azzurri gained access to the final stage to defend that title won last year also in Spain. Of these useless controversies, honestly, one really can’t take it anymore.
