From the world of film to the world of music, of course through the world of sports, without forgetting politics. In Turin today there was a parade of stars and VIPs for the ATP Finals which have now reached the final stage. There are only a few hours left until the awarding of the title of master of masters and already many figures at the Inalpi Arena have not missed the opportunity to watch one or more matches from the stands, but also to meet the champion behind the scenes.
And anticipation is growing to find out whether Spike Lee will be in the audience at the final, the American director with a passion for tennis who will be right under Mole for the Turin Film Festival in the next few days. The same person who openly supported Carlos Alcaraz during the Roland Garros final and at the end, when he wanted to say hello to Jannik Sinner, the blue side ignored him. A sketch that immediately went viral. Now supporting the host idol Italy, in a match with De Minaur projecting him to the final, there was, among others, Luciano Ligabue, who was immortalized on the pitch’s big screen while the tournament’s official DJ launched into the tune ‘Piccola stella senza cielo’, serenading the entire stadium. Applause also for Pierfrancesco Favino, who has been a guest of the Finals for several days and also had the opportunity to show his latest film ‘Il maestro’ directed by Andrea Di Stefano, sitting in the stands near the actor. The world of entertainment is highly represented today. Among the tennis fans are singers Alfa and Sarah Toscano, actors Luca Bizzarri and Andrea Pisani, former Miss Italy Eleonora Pedron and Cristina Chiabotto, presenter Gianluca Gazzoli, writer and popularizer Lorenzo Luporini and dancer and television personality Pierpaolo Pretelli.
However, the stars were dominated by athletes, from the home tennis players who came to support their teammates, such as Jasmine Paolini, Matteo Berrettini, Lorenzo Sonego and Flavia Pennetta, to the footballers and coaches, of today and yesterday, including Luciano Spalletti, Max Allegri and Fabio Capello. Appearing in the dressing room, where they chatted with some of the tennis players, were Del Piero, Milik, Bremer, Perin, Rugani, Paleari, Casadei, Biraghi and Schuurs. The meetings often end with the tennis players receiving personalized team t-shirts with their names. Among the sportsmen posing as fans were also skier Federica Brignone, Olympic champions Antonio Rossi and Alex Di Giorgio, as well as Kanoa Igarashi, silver medalist in surfing at the Tokyo Olympics, present at the Final as a content creator. Mef Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti will represent politics, while Sports Minister Andrea Abodi and Public Administration Minister Paolo Zangrillo are expected to appear in the final. But a constant presence in the stands was Laila Hasanovic: Sinner’s girlfriend did not miss a match, attracting photographers and cameras.
