Sinner’s reasoning runs like a charm: much better that way.
To claim that he told him all kinds of things would not give the idea of how ruthless he was. Of how many times she hit him underhandedly in the hopefully vain hope of seeing him break down and “win” a media battle that, from the beginning, has been one-sided.
There is a very specific reason why Jannik Sinner has never lifted a finger or uttered a word to defend himself from the very numerous broadsides of his Australian opponent Nick Kyrgios. And that reason is to be found in the fact that, fundamentally, he does not feel that he has to defend himself, because he is aware, precisely, that he has not committed any mistake or misstep. This explains, then, why, up to this point, he has never reacted to the often underhanded insinuations of the Canberra native. Accusations that evidently have neither touched nor nicked him, certain as he is of his total extraneousness to the facts concerning Clostebol and, above all, his moral integrity.
The world number 1 knew well, however, that sooner or later someone would ask him for a bill. And he knew well, probably, that it would happen in the land of the kangaroos, Kyrgios being a native of, precisely, Australia. So here it is that, as widely expected, the question came right during the press conference presenting the first Slam. Question to which, as we will see shortly, the San Candido champion answered in exemplary fashion.
Sinner snubs Kyrgios: here’s why
When asked why he had never responded to attacks from his sweetheart’s ex-boyfriend, Russian tennis player Anna Kalinskaya, Sinner displaced everyone with an answer we would not hesitate to call “zen. ”
“I know I didn’t do anything wrong – these are the words of the king of the Atp ranking – That’s why I’m still here, that’s why I’m still playing. I don’t think I have to respond to these statements, to be honest, but in my mind I know exactly what happened, and that’s how I block these thoughts. I can’t just pick them up and put them aside in a box and never think about them again, but I know I didn’t do anything wrong.”
“I’m not going to respond to what Nick says or what other players say,” the world No. 1 argued further, ”I think the most important thing is to have people around me who know exactly what happened, that’s all. A philosophy that doesn’t make a wrinkle, his. And one that, to be honest, we like a lot.
