For Jannik Sinner, transgression and celebration have the taste of hamburgers and chips, eaten with the hands between loved ones, once victory has been achieved. This is what happened in Rome too, as revealed by a photo in the middle of the gallery published by the player on the official Instagram account.
Obviously with Jannik Sinner’s face it is almost impossible to go around the capital and eat in peace, be it a starred restaurant or a fast food restaurant, the only solution to the problem is to eat in the hotel, and in your own suite, because at this level of fame, saving your privacy is almost a second job. And it will be even more so after the crowds in Rome. Even in New York after the first US Open Sinner had celebrated like this: with hamburgers and fries consumed, with an air of enjoyment and with his hands, in the hotel with the staff. This time the family has joined together and who knows what the father, a traditional South Tyrolean chef, will think of these “barbaric” tastes. From the outside, you just need to look at his eyes at the end of the match to sense the admiration and restrained pride in his Habsburg sobriety.
In some interviews Jannik revealed that this small transgression, as well as that of the sweets that he would love very much if he were to eat them, is the comfort food he allows himself when it comes to celebrating a victory. Just as he has never hidden the fact that he is among the loved ones of a life that is being recharged, before starting to spin around the world again together with his staff, to whom a cohesive relationship of trust binds him. Among the collaborators has also recently joined Joseph Cannillo, Italian-American, trained in America, degree in biology from Long Island University in New York and in Chiropractic Medicine from the New York Chiropractic College, specialized in cytopathology from Cornell University, New York Hospital with a Master’s degree in Molecular Genetics, and one in Clinical Phytotherapy, long-time collaborator of Novak Djokovic, among tennis players known for always paying attention to nutrition bordering on the obsessive. Cannillo is responsible for studying the recovery paths of Jannik’s body which the circuit requires continuity and resistance to stress: living and winning a lot in tennis means keeping the body in full working order like a delicate machine, a part of the job that requires effort and rigor. That Jannik Sinner is a diligent and rigorous professional is known throughout the environment, it is known that he is not the type to let himself go. But a calculated transgression does not ruin the program and saves serenity and balance.
And when someone caught him indulging in a hamburger once even without winning, Jannik revealed: “But that was my birthday week.”
And it was well worth a small celebration with this special dinner of his which tastes like a very personal compensation for the pre-adolescence sacrificed, out of passion, for the dream of tennis. The child side of a boy, because at 24 he is still one, who seems to have been born a grown-up. Other than robots, aliens and so on.
