Sinner will not meet Mattarella. He returns to Sesto Pusteria to rest

The best joke, as often happens to him, was made by Paolo Bertolucci: "I give Mattarella I would have gone, but I'm not as tired as Sinner. And anyway to the Quirinal They never called me when we won the Davis we returned at night and secretly, without being received by anyone", the former Azzurri player told the microphones of 'Un giorno da Pecora', on Rai Radio1.

Obviously, those were different times, 1976, the Red Shirt Cup in Pinochet's Chile, there were socialists and not socials...in short, the comparison cannot be made. But it is clear that the great refusal has been holding court since yesterday, since it was announced that Jannik he would not have shown up today Quirinal where the teams that won the Davis , Billie Jean King Cup will be received by the President of the Republic. Sinner is no stranger to declining invitations for which many would sell... their mother: when he refused to go to Sanremo, half the audience applauded him for his strength in resisting the call of sirens that would have seduced anyone else, or almost. But that was a social event, not an institutional one: this, net of the nonsense of moralists in permanent active service (obviously when it comes to other people's wallets...), is the real difference in the eyes of those who turned up their noses yesterday.

But it would be a good idea to reach an agreement, once and for all. That a Sinner that they are not very interested in 'obligatory' public outings is now a well-known fact even in Kyrgios. That even for this never vulgar normality of his Jannik pleases both adults and children, too. Like the fact that sometimes he almost seems like an alien in his anti-stardom, when in reality his message has often been accompanied by values ​​that should be normal for everyone (love for the family, the desire for a private life that is not besieged). Isn't it possible that the others are wrong, those who think you have to be on the catwalk because if you don't appear you don't exist?

"He certainly hates these ceremonies, he has been in seclusion for a long time and therefore he will want to rest for a few days and then start again at full speed, starting from Friday. Of course, saying no to President of the Republic... they are personal choices, let's say so", was the complete reasoning of Bertolucci.

Sinner he will return to his family's house in the next few days, Sesto Pusteria, in the valley that has always known how to protect his privacy and in fact there are no announced celebrations in his honor. That the failure to pass to the Quirinal (who simply took note of it) is not an act of snobbery, another thing proves it: a year ago Sinner da Mattarella he went there to celebrate the Davis, and on his way out he praised the humanity of the President. "He knows the history of tennis better than I do."
