Speaking to ‘The Politics of the Balllone’ on GR Parliament, the Minister of Sport Andrea Abadi spoke of the victory of Jannik Sinner in Wimbledon and the absence in the stands of the Italian institutions, in contrast to the presence of the King of Spain Felipe II: “How did I experience the victory of Sinner in Wimbledon? With the great emotion, at a distance, because contrary to many other times, this time I also go to a minister. to need to stop, to spend a day with the family “.

joy more than presence

Abodi continues: “Sorry for the absence of Italian institutions. I believe that the most important thing is to be able to rejoice in any case for a company that brings together everyone. It may happen that the institutions are missing and it happened in this circumstance: we are sorry because it would have been much more beautiful to be there present, but sometimes we too have circumstances of life that prevent us from doing it and this I do not think that it should deserve a judgment that, everything, should be a great joy. Using us.

Meeting and precedents

Abodi was also asked if Sinner will meet Sergio Mattarella and Giorgia Meloni. “At each victory there was a celebration, so I am convinced that it will not fail. The theme is simply to find a meeting point between the agenda of the institutions and above all the sports agenda of Jannik who has the priority for us. When he is ready, when he can, when he wants, we will surely all be ready to welcome him, to embrace him and also really embrace the cup that deservedly won in London”.

It must be said that the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella is a lover of sport and has often attended the commitments of the blue athletes: we remember him in Wembley in 2021 for the European final (when he met Berrettini returning from the final lost to Wimbledon against Djokovic), or Rome to attend the European Athletics in 2024 (with embrace in Tamberi) or still last May International of Italy between Paolini and Gauff, at the Foro Italico (but not to the male one between Sinner and Alcaraz, scheduled for the next day).
