The Drake curse has also affected Jannik Sinner.
In the past few days, the world-famous rapper Drake bet $300’000 on Jannik Sinner winning against Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open final. We all know how it turned out, but fans of the San Candido champion had been sounding the alarm for the past few days.
Since Drake shared his bet on social media, supporters of Jannik Sinner have flooded social media with cries of alarm given the precedent. The rapper last year bet a fortune on Taylor Fritz, who was then defeated in the finals by Jannik Sinner himself. Drake’s other defeats also include the $355’000 he lost for betting on Mike Tyson in the match against Jake Paul.
During ‘Domenica Sportiva’, broadcast on Rai 2, Adriano Panatta analyzed Jannik Sinner’s knockout against Carlos Alcaraz this way: “He played much better Alcaraz, apart from the second set where Sinner tried to raise the pace and succeeded and the other one got a little bit disunited. Alcaraz, however, was always in control of the match, playing at a level of speed and technical solutions that even the best Sinner would have had a lot of trouble beating him”.
