When Giacomo Naldi and Jannik Sinner laughed together.
In Miami, last March, during the match with O’Connell, a moment of levity diluted the tension when Jannik Sinner and his physiotherapist, Giacomo Naldi, were the protagonists of a funny episode. During the second set, the Australian accidentally hit Jannik s aide in the nether regions, causing an unexpectedly comical situation.
Despite the initial pain, made evident by Naldi's gesture of covering his head with a towel, Sinner's amused reaction turned the moment into a parenthesis of hilarity.
Sinner, after making sure Naldi was all right, could not è hold back laughter. This goliardic spirit also infected the audience and eased the tension of the competition, with the Italian continuing to smile throughout the game, evidently amused by the misadventure of his physiotherapist and friend.
Fortunately, the incident had no serious consequences, and Naldi è recovered, as confirmed by the cameras that captured him manfully serene afterwards.
