Jannik Sinner also celebrated by the Pope

The Pope’s words

The whole world is talking about Jannik Sinner, and not surprisingly, so did a great sports fan like Pope Francis on Monday. The pontiff received a delegation from the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona, for the club’s 125th anniversary, and on the sidelines he also spoke about the Italian champion’s success at the Australian Open. Reporting this è Vatican News.

"Congratulations to Italy and to Sinner for the victory. In tennis, as in life, we cannot always win,” the Pontiff continued, “but it will be an enriching challenge if, playing politely and according to the rules, we learn that it is not a struggle but a dialogue that involves our effort and allows us to improve. Conceive a bit of sport not only as fighting but also as dialogue. There'è a dialogue that, in the case of tennis, often becomes artistic".

It is not è to be excluded at this point a jump even to the Vatican of the South Tyrolean who will return to Italy on Tuesday and on Thursday will be received by the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella.
