Jannik Sinner: Andrea Scanzi unabashed after Wimbledon triumph

Jannik Sinner triumphs for the first time at Wimbledon, and Andrea Scanzi also celebrates the Azzurro, who is increasingly number one in the world. “Sinner’s path at this Wimbledon has been triumphant: never a set lost, including the thundering quarters with Shelton (played with the fear that his elbow would not hold) and the perfect semi with Djokovic”, Scanzi wrote on Facebook.

“With one exception – noted Scanzi unabashedly -: the now famous eighth round match with a perfect and unlucky Dimitrov, who was forced to retire when he was ahead two sets and Sinner did not know how to get out of it, complicit with the elbow injury suffered in the first game. That match that was so rough and lucky (for him) stands to Sinner like the fog that “saved” Sacchi’s Milan in the ’89 Champions Cup against Red Star. From an unexpected thud to the triumph that opens wide the gates of epic: sport is also this”.

“Sinner defeated the elbow boo-boo– continued Scanzi -, the guffaws of morons, the ghosts of the past, the dismissals of half the staff and nemesis Alcaraz”.

“Beyond all limits, beyond all obstacles. A champion. And whoever hasn”t figured it out yet, pray give himself to curling on gravel without breaking the balls further” concluded caustically the journalist of the Fatto Quotidiano.
