Sinner bursts into tears, he couldn’t hold back his tears: the unexpected reaction of the Italian champion.
Sometimes he seems frozen. There is no emotion that his face betrays while he is on the court, focused as he is on the game and on the strategies to adopt to put his opponents in difficulty. But this does not mean that he does not feel what all mere mortals feel, on the contrary. Jannik Sinner He may be number 1 in the world, but he too, as is right, knows what disappointment, frustration, anger, and the fear of not making it are.
He has gone through many critical moments during his career, yet he has always come out of them with his head held high precisely because, in this sense, he already has broad enough shoulders. Not completely, though. There are things that still hurt him and that he doesn’t know how to deal with. He talked about this and much more in the interview with Times of the last few days, in which it has opened up like never before.
He decided to spill the beans to the star-spangled newspaper, revealing a Backstory that perhaps no one, for the reasons mentioned above, could have ever imagined. Can you imagine, in fact, Sinner suddenly bursting into tears, accustomed as we are to seeing him all in one piece? Probably not. And that’s why his statements are doubly incredible.
Sinner in tears: it was stronger than him
Jannik revealed that he cried on the occasion of two defeats. The first is the one that remedied the Us Open at the hands of his bitterest rival yet friend, Carlos AlcarazThe second time it happened he was in Paris and the Iberian had just eliminated him from the Roland Garros.
Statements that give a good idea of how difficult it wasfor him, digest these bad knockouts, although fortunately they were well balanced with a series of successes and with the conquest, even “premature”, of the top of the ATP ranking. He admitted, at the same time, that he never cried with happiness, despite the fact that there were more and more conditions to open the taps, but so it is.
As of now, he confessed to the Timesthese tears have a very specific meaning. They represent how much you care about the sport you practice and how much you want to “reach the highest level”. And who knows, maybe when you are aware of the level you have reached then holding them back in the good moments will be a little more difficult.
