At 22 years and virtually 10 months. “It is a dream, one thing very lovely for Italy. However successful will not have the ability to change who I’m” says Jannik. It is historical past. Of sport, of customs. We’ve got fulfilled a need that has lasted greater than 100 years (since there was an Italian racket federation), all the time thought of solely a fervent, unrealizable, silly fantasy of poor youngsters. As an alternative, Italy finds itself at dinner with this sensational and scrumptious reward package deal.

Future by no means leaves something to likelihood, it was meant to be at Roland Garros. The place every thing is pink. The identikit of the primary, historic, primary within the Italian world, along with his pink, thick and curly hair, falsely ungovernable. Lengthy-limbed, twenty-two years previous, from South Tyrol.
