Pierfrancesco Favino has his say on Jannik Sinner’s choices

Every time Jannik Sinner makes a decision, here comes a media fuss. Every choice he makes becomes a topic of discussion. The Blue, for better or worse, is on everyone&#8217s lips after his no to the Davis Cup. Pierfrancesco Favino, starring in the movies in the unprecedented role of a tennis teacher, is understanding, on his own skin, how delicate and complex the job of a tennis player is.

“When Panatta says that tennis is the devil’s sport, he is right. It is a frightening battle with one’s own head. The actor often experiences a condition of loneliness, but unlike athletes we are never alone in the moment of performance” the words of the well-known actor in an’exclusive to Corriere della Sera.

Pierfrancesco Favino dwells on Jannik Sinner, who is grappling with enormous media pressure: “When Jannik slipped to second place behind Alcaraz, I thought it was best for him, for the boy”.

“Who among us can know Sinner’s energy level at the end of the season? I trust his choices. When you are up there, you have no screen. You are alone and exposed to everyone”s observation and criticism. Statements that will surely please the’current world No. 1.
