“He’s stronger than me. I’m cheering Sinner on.” In the end too Bruno Vespa surrender and cheer, rising further in the history of Italian sports after the second consecutive success in ATP Finals in the final against Carlos Alcaraz. It was a journalist who wrote it in X during the final with Alcaraz to Turin, won by the blue team 7-6, 7-5. Vespa has actually joined all the journalists (but not only) who have ever done so South Tyrolean attacks following his decision From don’t play Davis Cup after leading Italy to victory for two consecutive years: in 2023 and enter 2024. Now in Turin, however, the color blue continues to entertain the Italian public, it has conquered it second year in a row tournament trophy among the best eight and has brought more people closer to the world of tennis, even Bruno Vespa decided to get involved.
For those who missed the precedent, journalists in recent weeks – following his rejection of the Davis Cup – have gone on the attack Jannick Sinner twice on X. The first post “Why should Italians support Sinner? He speaks German, lives in it Monte Carlo and does not play with the national team”, made the mistake of incorrectly calling Alcaraz “Alvarez”. Then added: “I forgot, the rejection of the Olympics and above all the refusal to meet the head of state”. A phrase that Sinner never responded to.
