Davis Cup, Andrea Abodi is adamant about the Jannik Sinner case

Andrea Abodi’s thoughts on the Jannik Sinner case

Just a few days after Jannik Sinner’s triumph at the Beijing ATP 500, Sports Minister Andrea Abodi wanted to comment on the controversy received by the South Tyrolean national team after he withdrew from playing for the Italian national team in the group stage of the Davis Cup.

"It would take a bit of balance. Sinner today è a champion, but a few days ago he was considered a traitor. He explained well the reasons why he did not è go to Bologna and President Binaghi did the same. He has a season to continue and a goal to achieve" began the minister as reported by "Notizie.com".

"At that level, physical and psychological factors are crucial. Jannik è Italian and has very strong values, great humility è and simplicity. We have to understand that sport è is made of complexities; but sometimes you simply have to say no" added Andrea Abodi.
