Djokovic, who took refuge in the grass to escape the time, was hunted by Jannik. And tomorrow, 35 days from Paris …
For long years, the Italians on vacation left the beach to enjoy Borg-Mcenroe or Federer Nadal. The Wimbledon final has always been a fascinating event, of great tradition, but which did not concern us, apart from the recent exception of Berettini. We sat down as in the theater, just to enjoy the beauty of the white gestures. This is Jannik Sinner’s gift: having transformed us into fans. We will continue to enjoy beauty, but with the heart on.
Sunday the final
–
Tomorrow at 5 pm, now of tea, we will not feel some imbucati between Dukes and Duchesse: “Yes, we have a finalist on the pitch, is it number one in the world. All right at the palace?”. Jannik, splendid, swept via Nole Djokovic in 3 sets, reduced a Slam semifinal in a first round practice against Navone or Kopriva. Yet, on the other side of the network, there was the most winning tennis player in history, the king of seven Wimbledon. He had taken refuge in the grass, like a hare hucked by time. Sinner had defeated him in the last four occasions, but on that surface there was still invulnerable. He had escaped in London, like the soldier of Vecchioni in Samarkand, but the weather has settled in the grass. In the cathedral of Wimbledon yesterday the majestic sunset of the hero was celebrated, tired and limping. Honor to him. The opponent who looks most like him, in the blows and in his head: a Djokovic with 15 years less. It is the law of life that organized the youth party for tomorrow: Alcaraz-Sinner. 35 days from Paris, Jannik has 4 matches-points to be put to the ground.
