Paolo Maldini impressed by a detail after meeting with Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner is a well-known Milan fan, and Paolo Maldini has always been one of his sporting landmarks. In 2021 Sinner had gone to Milanello, where he met the former Rossoneri captain and took a photo with him wearing the number 10 Rossoneri jersey. Today the two met again at the Foro Italico. In fact, Maldini was present to watch the match between Sinner and Rublev, which the Italian won in two sets.

In the post-match, Maldini expressed himself as follows: “It serves programming, in tennis they have done everything that soccer has lacked. I think having a No. 1 increases interest. But so many Italian players in the top 100 are not chance.”

“Seeing him live is impressive,” added the former No. 3 on the South Tyrolean. “There are no more words for him, but I would dwell on the person: that’s what makes the difference. What did we talk about? Soccer, tennis, recovery, so many things…”.

As for soccer, Maldini avoided answering questions about a possible future role in the Federation, after being accosted to the new Azzurro course.
