Jannik Sinner makes a confession about Valentino Rossi

Jannik Sinner in a meeting with tennis school kids at the Nike Store in Turin also spoke about former MotoGP star Valentino Rossi, revealing that he was inspired by the Doctor regarding one particular aspect before matches. "Playing with the cap for me è very important, almost like the helmet for MotoGP riders", explained the tennis player from San Candido, who gave Valentino's example. 

"In an interview Valentino Rossi said that when he lowers the visor for him there is only the race,” Sinner recounted. “For me è when there starts to be only tennis".

In a recent interview, coach Vagnozzi had compared Sinner to Valentino: "He is becoming a little bit’ like with Valentino Rossi and Alberto Tomba and I think it is not only about the results, but also about the boy. Of the’example he sets".

"Jannik’s simplicity è contagious, he makes people love him, so è a good thing. I’ve experienced it that way, but you can see that there’s a beautiful air: the fact that a simple boy is seen by so’many kids, very young, in my opinion è beautiful".
