Nowadays, the Italian player Sinner's topic and influence in the tennis world can be said to be unparalleled!
After winning his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, Sinner returned to Italy and was greeted at VIP level. He was not only received by the Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, but was also specially appointed by the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani, as Italy's Ambassador for Sports Diplomacy. It is no exaggeration to say that Sinner has now been hailed as a "national hero" and a god-like presence by most of the Italian media, and countless praises and applause poured into the young player overnight.
However, as the so-called popularity is too much! With the explosion of Sinner's influence, the negative news surrounding him has also begun to increase!
Since Sinner won the Australian Open, public opinion on the Internet has not stopped. Although there are many fans who believe that Sinner's championship will undoubtedly become an example and motivation for the younger generation of young players to learn, there are also many netizens who do not buy it. Some Italian netizens even directly questioned Sinner's ancestry: "Is Sinner Italian? What is the evidence? The evidence is his broken Italian? It is difficult to admit that he is truly Italian, his name is very German, and his accent is very German." But I don't know what the purpose of this netizen is. In fact, Sinner was born in San Candido, South Tyrol, an autonomous German-speaking province in northern Italy, so Sinner was indeed an Italian.
In addition to the netizens' creations out of nothing, the event side also did not stop. After winning the Australian Open, the tired Sinner chose to withdraw from the Marseille tournament in France, which caused dissatisfaction among the tournament side. In this regard, the Marseille event wrote in a strange way on its official Twitter: "Sinner snobe Marseille, is in communication with Zverev, and there will be a reply today." (Note: Snobe in French means to disdainfully reject, ignore or reject, to snub.) Such a move was quickly reprimanded by Sinner's fans, with many netizens believing that the official behavior of Marseille was very ugly, which was a smear and rumor against a great champion. After being criticized by netizens, the event party immediately changed to Sinner and withdrew from Marseille.
Italian actor Ana Falci also bombarded Sinner on the show recently, but the reason was simply that Sinner did not participate in the Sanremo Music Festival after winning the championship. In response, she said: "He's not very empathetic and cold, completely unempathetic!", In addition, she also broke the news on the show that Sinner may not be playing in Rotterdam, Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Barcelona and Madrid for the time being, and that he will return on May 8. However, she was soon slapped in the face, and according to netizens, Sinner's name is still on the Rotterdam registration list, and unless Sinner personally withdraws due to injury, there is no reason for him to withdraw from the Sunshine Doubles.
A Grand Slam title brings not only money and attention, but also anxiety and stress to the players, and despite the rumours, it still makes people feel that the world is full of malice. However, Sinner's reaction to this was extraordinarily personable and mature.
Regarding the pressure that the Internet can bring to him, Sinner admits: "In fact, I always tell young people to be careful with social networks, because there are a lot of things that are not real. People post how good their lives are online, but in reality their lives can be bad. I don't like [social media] because I don't think [social media] is showing the truth. Truth be told, I was better off without (social media) and I will continue to do so. ”
Obviously, for the malice of this world, blocking it may be the best way. And for the players, the most important thing is to keep making breakthroughs and coming up with more convincing results. For Sinner, this "pressure and motivation" may be just the beginning, and he must adapt as soon as possible. (Source: Tennis Home Author: Lu Xiaotian)
