Sinner, the decision arrives: for the first time ever he will appear in a different guise. He can already be found yesterday in his new adventure
He’s not playing, and he won’t play, Jannik Sinner at the Internationals in Rome. The Italian tennis player, number 2 in the world, has a hip problem which took him out in Madrid and which could also put the next Slam, the Roland Garros on clay, at risk.
At the press conference last Monday, Jannik did not go too far: he clearly said that if he is well he will be there, otherwise he doesn’t want to put the next few years of his career at risk. The best Italian tennis player ever is 22 years old and still has a career ahead of him: there’s no point in taking risks. Better to wait for the right moment to return to the field, even if the disappointment of the Italian people of not being able to see him at Rome it was immense. A difficult blow to digest. In the meantime, however, the fans can console themselves in another way, seeing Sinner in a totally different guise.
Sinner on Mickey Mouse, here is the initiative
In fact, since yesterday, the cover of the edition number 3572 from the Mickey Mouse cartoon, starring Jannik himself. Unmistakable, with the racket and the red hair that comes out of the blue cap. In fact, the comic entitled ‘Uncle Scrooge and the unusual coach’ has been on newsstands since yesterday, and will also be available at the Turin International Book Fair from the following day.
The plot has been written – you can read about it tennisworlditalia.com – by Roberto Gagnor and designed 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 was hired by tycoon Scrooge McDuck to compete in the Duckburg Open, the first Big Sbam tournament. A coach outside of any scheme who must also face the plans of his old enemy, Rockerduck, who will try in every way to hinder him. “I love comics – commented Jannik – I grew up with those published by Panini, and it’s always exciting for me to read them. I still try to find time to do it, between travel and matches.” In short, an international star who becomes a comic. All very beautiful!
