Jannik Sinner has already written a tennis manual. For boys. And what better place to do it than at the home tournament? Published by Panini Comics, it is called “Little Great Champions”. Jannik is transformed into a “cartoon” to dispense technical advice on how to approach the field and tell anecdotes that see him as the protagonist on the Tour. An unprecedented creative process that in which Jannik was involved who on the field promptly demonstrates great rationality and coldness.

Creative

“When I play I am serious and focused on what I have to do but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy myself,” said Jannik. “In everyday life I believe I have a creative side. This comes out especially when I’m in the kitchen ”, all his father, chef Hans. “I can do two things well: baked chicken and pasta with tomato sauce. Recently I also tried to cook a tart, coach Vagnozzi approved it! ”. In general, he considers himself a normal guy, so normal that he confessed to punctually “scrounging” the Pay TV subscription to the team: “The Sky account is not mine, I use that of my physiotherapist. For Dazn, on the other hand, I wait for Simone [Vagnozzi, ndr] give me your credentials! ” but it seems that the technician does not want to give up.

With the children

Together with the book, Sinner also presented an exclusive line of Pigna notebooks and stationery items dedicated to the little ones for back to school: “When I was little I was fine at school – he points out with pride -. Because of tennis I was unable to attend high school assiduously but in general I think I was a good student “. At the end of the event dedicated to the press, Jannik also allowed himself to the children present at the Foro Italico for some exchanges from the half court. Between one shot and the next he recounted his climb to the top of world tennis: “A career is like climbing a mountain. It’s not easy but when you get high you are relieved. The secret is never to look downwards but always upwards because you have already done what is under you ”.
