Sinner, decision comes: for the first time ever he will appear in a different guise. He can be found as early as yesterday in this new adventure of his.
He is not playing, and will not play, Jannik Sinner at the Rome Internationals. The Italian tennis player, number 2 in the World, has a hip problem that took him out in Madrid and could also jeopardize the upcoming Slam, Roland Garros on clay.
In his press conference on Monday, Jannik did not mince words: he clearly said that if he is well he will be there, otherwise he does not want to jeopardize the next years of his career. The best Italian tennis player ever is 22 years old and still has a career ahead: no use taking risks. Better to wait for the right moment to return to the court, even if the disappointment of the Italian people not to be able to see him in Rome was immense. A hard blow to digest. In the meantime, however, fans can console themselves in another way, seeing Sinner in a totally different guise.
Sinner on Mickey Mouse, here’s the initiative
Since yesterday, in fact, the cover of issue number 3572 of Mickey Mouse comics features Jannik himself. Unmistakable, with his racket and red hair coming out of his blue cap. As of yesterday, in fact, the comic book titled ‘Uncle Scrooge and the Unusual Coach’ is on newsstands, also available at the Turin International Book Fair from the following day.
The storyline was written – we read on tennisworlditalia.com – by Roberto Gagnor and drawn by Alessandro Perina (also author of the cover), with colors by Ilaria Castagna, the story tells the story of Quacknik Spinner. The young Calisota star is hired by tycoon Scrooge McDuck to compete in the Duckburg Open, the first tournament of the Great Sbam. An off-the-charts coach who must also face the plans of his lifelong enemy, Rockerduck, who will try in every way to thwart him. “I love comic books,” Jannik commented, “I grew up with the ones published by Panini, and it is always exciting for me to read them. I still try to find time for it, between trips and games.” In short, an international star becoming a comic book. All very nice!
