Federica Brignone doesn’t hold back on Jannik Sinner

Federica Brignone challenged Jannik Sinner in an interview with "Che tempo che fa": the Italian skier, who is on the verge of winning her second overall World Cup after a stellar year, sent a message to the Italian tennis player, world number one. " I would love to play tennis with Sinner. And also ski".

"He skis very well. He was Mickey Mouse champion, which means Under-14 international world champion. I never dared to tell him, and in fact he wouldn’t enjoy it, I suck at tennis… I wouldn’t even see the ball. È he shoots forehands … he hits the ball so hard that it would be impossible in my opinion to play".

On skis it would be a whole different story: "But he would be behind me without any problem…"

In a recent interview with Corriere della Sera, Federica Brignone had justified Sinner for not being at the Quirinale by Mattarella: "I always went, but at the end of the season when there were no races. You also have to understand the lives of athletes: traveling è heavy and so is è fitting it all in with training".
