The Rai journalist, on his X profile, takes a position on Jannik’s choice not to play in the Davis Cup. Then he praises… Alvarez
Jannik Sinner will not participate in the Davis Cup Final Eight. He may still think about it, but he doesn’t appear in the first calls. News that did not just shake the world of tennis, becoming one of the most debated topics in Italy. Ending up so much at the center of attention that Rai journalist Bruno Vespa also took to the field. Who commented on his profile
the controversy
—
The first thing that catches the eye is the reference to Alcaraz, mistakenly called Alvarez. An oversight, later corrected in a subsequent tweet (even if the first was not deleted, reaching 1 million views), which does not obscure the controversy. Vespa basically said “well done” to Alcaraz, Jannik’s great rival, claiming that there are no elements that would motivate an Italian to support Sinner. From the language to the residence, with the icing on the cake of the unavailability to play in the Davis Cup. Statements that have also sparked very harsh reactions on social media, with many underlining how the No. 2 ATP has put Italy back on the map of great tennis. Also proving decisive in the two Davis victories. In any case, until the last day for the official call-ups, although Volandri has also confirmed that he does not expect second thoughts, Sinner’s choice on the Davis Cup will remain central in the sporting debate.
