Speaking of the scudetto, two years ago Sinner made his support for the Rossoneri felt from the center of the Foro Italico. At the height of the title race, after an entertaining derby with Inter player Fognini, Jannik greeted the fans, took a marker and wrote “Forza Milan” on the camera which gave him the close-up at that moment. Thus celebrating the round of 16 just achieved in the home tournament, a few days before the tricolor triumph of Pioli’s team in Reggio Emilia. A support reciprocated by the club, between one victory and another. Once also together with Djokovic, the rival he overcame yesterday for the first time: “Thank you guys! You have made the Rossoneri family proud” was the message shared on social media after the South Tyrolean’s epic victory against Nole at the last Finals in Turin.

A few days later, following Italy’s triumph in the Davis Cup, Milan delivered the invitation to San Siro to its fans, on the occasion of the Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund on 28 November. In the presence of a sold out Meazza, Sinner greeted the public half an hour before kick-off, and then took the chants from the entire stadium. Almost like part of the starting eleven, he is ready to take the field on the night of the stars. Then a chat with Cardinale, a chat with CEO Furlani and a hug with the idol Ibrahimovic: “Zlatan? I like him because he is a character capable of going beyond sport” Jannik had said in unsuspecting times. Now they have more and more something in common.
