Nicola Pietrangeli attacks Jannik Sinner

The words of Nicola Pietrangeli

Harsh attack by Nicola Pietrangeli to ANSA: "I do not want to go into the merits of the Jannik Sinner affair, I speak in general; I say that representing one’s country è the highest aspiration of a sportsman, è an honor anyway, regardless of the result. Anyone who refuses and then goes to play a tournament elsewhere should be disqualified".

"If one refuses becauseé he is sick for charity; but whoever refuses in order then to go and play a tournament elsewhere, then the Federation should disqualify him for a year at least", he added.

"If you are not proud to play for your country get a fake medical certificate, è a matter of conscience. Or, do you not feel like it because è you are afraid of losing or because of the responsibilities? You don’t è have to win, but you have to try. And no excuses or alibis should be made, but I am not naming any particular name in this case, I am speaking in general, let me be clear“, Pietrangeli concluded.
