ATP > Denis Shapovalov: “A lot of Italian fans lost their minds because I made a comment about the Sinner affair when it had nothing to do with Jannik”

During a conversation with Thanasi Kokkinakis and Dominic Thiem on the sidelines of the “grand finale” of the UTS, the exhibition created by Patrick Mouratoglou, and which will take place from December 6 to 8 in London, Denis Shapovalov spoke about the numerous hate messages received on Twitter following a position on the Sinner affair.

And the Canadian still seems to have difficulty achieving it.

“On Twitter, you can't express your opinions without people losing their minds. It seems like people just hate and regardless of your opinion, they lash out. You can't have a normal conversation. Because people can't respond without emotion. This is something that happened to me with the Italian fans when I made a comment on the Sinner affair. It had nothing to do with Jannik, for me it was just the principle that it should be the same for all players, but a lot of Italian fans lost their minds and went crazy. »
