In 2019, a camera captured an unexpected moment: Jannik Sinner enjoying a carrot in the middle of a match. A few seconds of video, millions of views, and today, an army of fans in orange: the Carota Boys.
At just 18 years old, Jannik Sinner was already making headlines, considered a future great hope of world tennis. While the prophecies have proven true, the Italian also made his mark on the 2019 season in an unusual way.
It was in Vienna that the current world No. 2 was spotted munching on a carrot during a changeover.
Since then, Sinner has gained a group of supporters dressed as carrots, the 'Carota Boys,' spotted at several Grand Slam tournaments.
