Yesterday, 8 August, Tennis, a sport beloved by the general public, was once again tinged with azure, in a year of Italian revival, with a season of successes and not only in the sports field.
In a magical all-Italian night, Jannik Sinner (19), celebrated his 20th birthday early, winning the Citi Open tournament in Washington, after nearly a 3-hour battle against Mackenzie McDonald.
The first set turned out to be a fight with no holds barred, in which the Italian tennis player always managed to recover from difficult moments, thanks to his humour, as well as his physical and mental condition.
In the second set, the American recovered, but in the third set, the Italian athlete prevailed again and triumphed with a 7-5, 4-6, 7-5 win.
