Sinner snubbed? : Musetti's nomination as best Italian athlete of 2025 ignites Italy
Lorenzo Musetti has been named the best Italian athlete of 2025, and this decision has sparked reactions. Although he had an excellent start to the season, marked by a final in Monte-Carlo and a semi-final at Roland-Garros, the Italian is far from having achieved the same performances as his compatriot Jannik Sinner, a double Grand Slam winner this year.
A nomination that sparks debate
This title, awarded by the Gazzetta dello Sport, is causing debate in Italy. Speculations suggest that Sinner might have been boycotted due to his doping case or his voluntary absence from the Davis Cup during the Final 8.
Regardless, Sinner's non-nomination has nothing to do with the newspaper wanting to diversify its winners. As reported by Punto de Break, Valentino Rossi, for example, has won this title multiple times in a row.
