Jannik Sinner he is a human being like all of us. The world number one is in Turin to play the ATP Finals and has already proven to be an attractive candidate for the final victory. But when challenged in a sport other than his own, he is beatable. The blue, to distract himself from the fatigue of the tournament, played with his little brother bocce-tennis. And he lost big. The two were therefore “punished”. Indeed: humiliated. As? They were positioned with their backs to the back of the field and then taken – in friendship – in balls.
The race took place on Monday 11 November, after the training session. The Turin public remained in the stands to continue admiring their favorite. But he never expected to see it humiliated like this. The objective of the bocce-tennis match was to throw a ball as far as possible close to the line at the back of the field. But Jannik and his brother Mark miscalibrated the throw, sending the balls very far from the line.
At that point, all the protagonists of the story (there were also the two coaches Simone Vagnozzi e Darren Cahillthe new physiotherapist Ulises Badio and their manager friend Alex Vittur) participated in the 'punishment' of the two last classified Jannik and Mark, invited to stand with their backs to the back of the pitch, close to each other (“huddle together…”), while they were hit with balls , albeit with affection and mockery.
Here is the video of Jannik Sinner's punishment
