Sinner receives a logical but significant endorsement: "They came from the dumbest".
Since the publication of the Sinner affair, criticism has been rife not only of the athlete, but above all of the bodies responsible for doping control.
As a reminder, after testing positive twice in March, the Italian proved that this was due to contamination without his knowledge.
In fact, one of the members of his medical team appears to have given him the illegal substance by means of a massage.
Cleared, Sinner is not completely off the hook, at least not publicly, as many players continue to criticize the final decision.
It was against this backdrop that the President of the Italian Tennis Federation came to the world number 1's rescue.
Visibly up in arms, he sternly rebuffed the critics: "Colleagues' criticism of Sinner?
They came from the most stupid and frustrated, those who had more technical means than Jannik to become world number one and who, instead, failed miserably.
Being frustrated, it's normal for them to make venomous comments; it would have been a very different thing to hear them from Nadal, Djokovic, Medvedev.
People of different human depths.
It went very well for us, even if we had quite a scare. But Sinner will come out of this stronger than before."
Frustrated, yes, definitely.
Stupid, yes, definitely treated as that.
