Jannik Sinner and Matteo caps gave Italy another semifinal of Davis cup. Thanks to the double success against Argentina, the Azzurri will be able to play the opportunity to land in the final. Opposite will find the Australia of Alex De Minaur, a player defeated on several occasions by the South Tyrolean. The number one in the world, despite the triumphs of the last few months, has dropped very well in the part. And he’s facing the tournament with the right approach.
That Sinner was in cyborg mode had already been understood by the letter he had written to himself shortly before his debut in Malaga. An initiative wanted by FITP and addressed to all the athletes of the Italia team: “Dear Jannik, I think that the emotions experienced in the last year will carry them with you for a long time. The only goal you had set yourself was to understand what you were able to do. And surely you get to this Davis Cup more aware of your means than a year ago. You were good at being hit when everyone had an opinion about you. Especially those who didn’t know you. From this 2024 you learned that important people, who know you so well, are the people who you will have to keep yourself forever. In difficulties we come out stronger and stronger. As soon as you arrive in Malaga you hear the eyes of the whole world on you, the pressure is felt and, said among us, you start to like it a little ’. Jannik, never forget that this is just a game and that you are fine when you have fun. I love you, Jannik “.
A passage of the letter is making very much to discuss. Jannik recalled the year full of successes just passed. But he hasn’t forgotten about darker periods, like when he found out he was positive for the doping test. The blue, in the text, explained that he understood that the most important people in his life are also the ones who must keep themselves closer. It is a veiled reference to Anna Kalinskaya? Hard to say. What is certain is that the Russian is disappeared from the radars. And, using the same language used by blue, it was no longer close to him in important moments.
