Jannik Sinner’s words make Stan Wawrinka laugh

Some words of Jannik Sinner to Eurosport on the sidelines of the Paris-Bercy tournament provoked a controversial reaction from multiple Slam winner Stan Wawrinka. "I don’t play for money, è very simple", the world number one had said in response to a question about the Arab Six Kings Slam tournament.

"Obviously 6 million is a nice amount of money, but I went there becauseé there were maybe the six best players in the world and I wanted to measure myself against them. È it was also a big event for me because it was the first time I went to Riyadh, è it was a lot of fun. Money è important, but only so much. I live very well even without this money. I think the most important thing is my health and the health of those around me, much more than money. È just an extra". 

Among the hundreds of social comments to the interview was that of Stan Wawrinka, who responded with a laughing face icon. A reaction that did not è please many Blue fans, who criticized the Swiss veteran, accusing him of being envious.

Sinner this season grossed 12 million euros on the ATP circuit, plus the 6 in Arabia for a total of 18 million euros. A record figure that could grow again in the coming weeks.
