Binaghi to Sinner: “Don’t care if some old champion has criticized you”
Even the president of the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation took part in the celebration, extolling the first Italian player able to reach the top of the ranking.
“I would like to thank Jannik’s parents, because when someone becomes world champion it means that he has made a clear path. The main credit goes to his parents, who gave him an incredible education.
They taught us that to improve this country we must not start from large cities with great resources, but also from small realities like this, but we must have great values, like those that were taught to Jannik” , said Binaghi in the words reported by The Corriere dello Sport.
“Then a message to the administrators: they will understand that Jannik will be a great opportunity for social and economic growth. Even in Sardinia 50 years ago we had a great champion like Gigi Riva, who made us grow and become better women and men.
Your Gigi Riva is called Jannik Sinner. Now I turn to Jannik: in recent weeks I have been touring all over Italy, you have made the millions of people who play tennis and padel happy, don’t care if some old champions criticized you in the past, when you said no to the Olympics. Now they too are happy.”
