His meadows are these. These are the shades of greenery that have taken his heart since childhood and will never leave him, even now that Sinner has gained immortality on the most famous grass, that of Wimbledon. This is sixth, the Bethlehem of Italian tennis, but as is convenient for the shy and respectful character of the mountain people, the wait for the appearance of the Messiah Jannik you can breathe just between the teeming for vacationers who come here to enjoy the wonder of the Dolomites and the flowering of the summer.

Sinner, holidays in Montecarlo after Wimbledon

For the moment a vain: the first Italian king of the Championships ever in the afternoon took a private flight with the family from the London airport of Northolt and landed in Bolzano around 5 pm: he did not even go from the hall of the airport, where some journalists and a group of festive children awaited him who wanted to make him autograph balls. He greeted his parents from the aircraft and left for Nice, where he will return to his home in Montecarlo before taking a few days of vacation, very armored. It could return to Sesto before departure for Canada at the end of the month. Meanwhile, the Haus Sinner, the Bed & Breakfast managed by the parents, has continued to welcome guests also in these days when mom and dads have reached their son in London to live with him the unrepeatable emotions of a legendary victory, but from this morning Mrs. Sigrinke will return to deal with the management of the rooms and her husband Hanspeter of the kitchen. The birthplace of n.1 of the world, however, linda and well-kept and with magnificent violets of the lilac-colored thought on the balconies, is the most photographed attraction of the country: even yesterday a couple of van stopped in the clearing in front of the entrance to allow a dozen tourists to make a self-archdo between the enthusiasm of a couple of children who asked for ecstatic if that was the place where they had grown up. From a Jaki window, the cat breeds Maine Coon of the champion, observed Sornione the scene. In Sesto, only a gigantography of the favorite son remains, which stands in front of the cable car that climbs to Monte Elmo and which still portrays it with the Australian Open Cup, while the Waldheim hotel, at the crossroads between the state road that cuts the country in two and the street that leads to sports facilities, has posted the only new sign, in English: “Jannik you are our number 1″, and then organized a small ” Sinner “.

No party scheduled for Sinner in Sesto

Also at Sport Complex, the multifunctional center where Jannik Fanciullo took a racket for the first time, in the afternoon it runs placid between a spritz and a beach volleyball game, favored by the return of the sun after a gray and rainy morning, as if the return of Sinner had brought the light back. On Sunday, for the Wimbledon final, a single TV screen was not enough to guarantee the human tide first trepidant and then exultant to attend the hero’s show with red hair, and so one of the patrons had even taken the TV from home. Here, they await him for a ping pong challenge with friends, but it is very likely that the four Slam champion spend a few days in the mountains later in absolute relaxation, pampered by the family and allowing himself a few walk at altitude. At the moment, as the mayor Thomas Summerer confirms, there are no celebrations for the London triumph: “It is a crazy thing, they are historical moments for all of us, for Sesto, for all of South Tyrol, throughout Italy, but Jannik has many commitments: thinking about a party like that of June a year ago is very difficult, perhaps in the future we could organize something”. Meanwhile, the Council of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano today will propose the transfer to Sinner of the Order of Merit, the maximum local honor: you live the king of Wimbledon.
