Sinner, star-spangled revelations: it’s now or never

by Thorsten

Jannik Sinner seized the moment and did the right thing: the champion’s revelation confirms what we always suspected.

The exultation, more composed than the one that followed match point at the Australian Open. The embrace with Taylor Fritz, the gaze up to the sky, the worldwide, almost liberating kiss with his Anna Kalinskaya. And finally, the tears that flowed from himself as his thoughts turned to that aunt, so dear to him, who is unwell.

 

To see Jannik Sinner triumph in New York and win his second Slam was, in short, doubly emotional. It made us proud, but it also moved us, because his way of celebrating returned to us, once again, a “photograph” to be preserved with extreme care. That of a pure, simple champion, never full of himself. A hero who does not feel he has arrived, despite his outstanding palmares, but who is constantly looking for ways and strategies to improve himself more and more.

He said he was not entirely satisfied, for example, with his performance against Taylor Fritz. He could have done two or three things better, he felt during the interview he gave to Corriere della Sera, and it is these two or three things he will work on from here on out. To give more, to prove to himself that he can always do better.

 

Sinner, that’s the first thing he did: American doc

 

And those who wonder how a tennis player could have celebrated winning his second Grand Slam tournament will be amazed at the confession the world No. 1 let himself go to.

 

 

You would think he would have gone on a binge, dancing until dawn in some exclusive club, emptying his mind and having a good time. But no. Those who know him know that Jannik is not the type and that such excessive partying would just not be his style. He did something, if anything, in true Sinner style. Something he could not have done, because of his lifestyle, at any other time.

“I sat down with my team. I had a hamburger with Coca-Cola,” revealed the Flushing Meadows champion. Who, evidently, must have felt like a real American after his victory. And what better way could he have found, after all, simple as he is, to celebrate his hard-earned and much-deserved star-studded victory?
