The climb of Sinner to the top of the world rankings certainly did not go unnoticed. Last March, before becoming the first Italian to climb to the top step of the tennis rankings, during the Indian Wells, Jannik gave an interview to The team (published in the last few hours) very interesting. From celebrity to hobbies to mental work and the sound produced by the ball coming out of his racket, Sinner talks about himself: “I’m a little more famous now, after what I did. Last year, after the Coppa Davis, I went to San Siro to watch a match Milan. The fans in the Curva Sud knew I was coming, they wrote my name in the stands. I didn’t expect it at all! 70,000 people singing your name, it’s crazy! It was a crazy feeling, even more so as a Milan fan. However, I hope that people don’t see me only through my sporting successes, but also through what I transmit as a person”. Only 22 years old, but the head of a great expert for the 22 year old from San Candido who adds on the use of social media: “For a very simple reason: social networks are not real life! Tomorrow I can post a photo of myself with a big smile, while the moment I post it I feel bad. Only they won’t see this. All they will think is that I’m always happy, which is obviously wrong. I find it unhealthy. So, frankly, we have to trust what they show us on social media? I prefer to live without it. I don’t need to read what people write about me, I don’t think about it and I love my life without networks, as I live it now.“.
