Sinner, the whole world greets him: “Welcome, champion”

Jannik Sinner went ‘around the world’ without leaving Australia. His success at the tennis Open in Melbourne monopolized the front pages of newspapers, not just sports newspapers, both in Italy and abroad.

Thus the Spaniards of ‘Marca’ make the parallel with Nadal “”Sinner disguises himself as Rafa to overcome Medvedev and be crowned champion”, referring to the final won by the Spaniard by coming back from two sets against the Russian just like what happened to Jannik. And the Equipe, in France, crowns the South Tyrolean. “Apotheosis”, this is the title, adding: “Again and again. Sinner wins his first Grand Slam. At the end of a crazy Australian Open final, Sinner tamed Medvedev, after an amazing comeback. He is among the greats.” It doesn’t end here because beyond the Alps the illustrious ‘Figaro’ also talks about him: “Following in the footsteps of his father, who was a chef, Jannik Sinner seems to have found the right recipes in the fields to permanently invite himself to the king’s table . The South Tyrolean made the history of his country. For the Spanish generalist ‘El Mundo’ “Sinner wins in Australia and anticipates a great rivalry with Alcaraz”.

“It can’t get better than this”, ‘Bild’ wrote in Germany, while in the States, the most important networks, starting with NBC, talked about Sinner’s exploits: “The first Italian to win the Australian Open in that which could be a generational change in tennis.” Then there is CNN, which dedicated ample space to the victory in Australia, even including a reminder on the home page of its website. “Jannik Sinner comes back from two sets to win his first slam title.” And in Great Britain on the always institutional BBC: “Jannik Sinner won the Australian Open after a great comeback”. Also in England, the Daily Mail ran the headline: “the boy’s comeback”, while The Australian closed with this: “Glory belongs to Sinner, the mountain boy has climbed another peak”.
