The Italian tennis player, number 1 in the world, believes it: “We are a young team, which has renewed itself. I will watch the match alone, because in these cases I need my space”
It’s the eve of Spain-Italy. But the challenge that can already give primacy and qualification to the European Championship round of 16 seems to have already begun. Even at a distance. And in the vicinity of a tennis court. But it has nothing to do with the Davis Cup. “If Italy beats Spain I will write to my friend Alcaraz” said Jannik Sinner, number one in the ATP ranking and football fan, from Halle, where he is competing in the ATP 500 on grass.

Interviewed by the ATP, the South Tyrolean player confirmed that he believes in the quality of Luciano Spalletti’s Azzurri: “We are a young team, which has renewed itself a lot”. And again: “I love football, I played it as a child, and I won’t miss a national team match at the European Championships. However, I will watch them alone, because I care too much about it and in these cases I absolutely need my space.” Sinner, in the Halle tournament, will face the Hungarian Fàbiàn Marozsàn in the round of 16 tomorrow. While his friend and rival Carlos Alcaraz, number two in the world ranking, is on stage in London on the Queen’s courts.
