On the sidelines of the funeral chamber and before the funeral, which took place privately Wednesday afternoon, people also returned to talk about the value of the Azzurra jersey: “For my father it was everything. Then sometimes he would shoot a few barbs left and right, but let&#8217s realize that he was a 92-year-old gentleman and he saw today&#8217s tennis as a thing of monsters and Martians. Monsters in the good sense of the word”.

Adriano Panatta also expressed his condolences for his illustrious colleague: “I would be in danger of wronging Nicola if I simply said I lost a friend,” is the opening line of Panatta, who recounted his relationship with the Italian sports icon in a lengthy article written in Corriere della Sera. “Throughout the many common stories I could tell, the endless times when we found ourselves on the same side of the fence, or on the contrary, at opposite poles of a controversy, the friendship never failed, a bond in its own curious way, but unique and indestructible”.

In addition to Sinner, Matteo Berrettini and other Azzurri such as Lorenzo Sonego and Simone Bolelli also remained silent on social media, preferring to offer private condolences. Pietrangeli had celebrated the 2023 Davis Cup victory with them, cheering on the podium in Malaga.
