Roland-Garros – Jannik Sinner evokes the “Carota Boys”, his six supporters disguised as carrots

You can’t miss them in the alleys of Roland-Garros: here are the “Carota Boys”. These six Italian fans of Jannik Sinner have decided to support their favorite player in the most unusual way possible, by dressing up as… carrots! Seen for the first time on the side of Foro Italico during the Masters 1000 in Rome, a fortnight ago, the six friends decided to go to Paris to support their protege.

They were obviously present for the successful debut of the Transalpin in this Roland-Garros. Invited to the box by a famous Italian coffee brand, the six carrots had a place of choice to support their player who obviously noticed their presence. Throughout the day, they had obviously attracted the attention of the curious at Roland and made the happiness of social networks.

Asked in the Cube Eurosport after his victory against Alexandre Müller, Sinner was amused by the situation. “I have no idea where they come from! When I entered the court, they were on the right. I was like, ‘Okay, welcome guys, good to see you!’ It’s nice. I have orange hair, a little red. It’s a good nickname up to a point. I also ate a carrot in Vienna.”
