After his swift victory against Ruud (6-0, 6-1) in the quarterfinals of the Rome tournament, Sinner went to greet the Italian crowd gathered by the court. Suspended since February 9, the return of the world number one, on home soil, was a major event for many tifosi.
An euphoric crowd, then, which led to an unusual scene between the player and a fan's mother. Indeed, while Sinner was signing autographs and taking photos, a supporter handed him his phone so he could say a few words to his mom. A rare moment that made the San Candido native laugh.
