@loveydoveycois I think he hikes when time allows. Also does little cardio in the gym. But it'd be surprised if he has time to do anything else besides lifting. The rest is diet (also genes but mostly diet and consistency)
First thought - person who wrote this must be not young. Second thought - is NOT from Europe. I feel like Americans would find Sinner not marketable since his demeanor is SOOOO not American (in a good way 🤣). Maybe I wrong.
Sinner is an amazing tennis phenom, on his way to possibly becoming one of the all-time greats. There’s absolutely no denying that.
But there’s also something else that’s undeniable.
He’s not marketable.
Some people have It. Rafa Nadal, Roger Federer, to a lesser extent Novak Djokovic (those of us who’ve been following him from the start know that he had to grow into It), Bjorn Borg, Johnny Mac, Carlos Alcaraz, Jimmy Connors, Marat Safin… I could go on but you get the idea. These guys ooze charisma, personality, flair, coolness, swagger, aura.. they have It, or they earned It (like Nole).
Jannik Sinner doesn’t have It. He just doesn’t. Maybe he’ll grow into the role of The Man like Novak, but so far — it’s tough. He’s the socially awkward introvert who is forced to be marketed and propped up because he’s so undeniably brilliant at playing tennis, but you can just feel it’s forced.
None of the tennis media have the courage to admit this of course, so it’s a taboo subject that no one wants to grapple with. Which only makes it worse because how will he grow into It? Novak at least had the media against him and he ended up savoring the villain role after that phase of wanting praise passed and that’s when he became The Man.
But how will Sinner learn and grow into a charismatic personality if the tennis media coddles him all the time?
For the sake of the game, I hope he grows into the role.
@Lu8295@josemorgado but it says she signed some protocol about refusing to provide a sample. So if you're signing an official document I would think she knew it's an actual doping officer? Idk the punishment seems very harsh but there are some inconsistencies/illogical things in the story
@Lu8295@josemorgado i think they can arrive anytime between 6am and 10pm. If they arrive outside her one hour window and she isn't there, it's not a missed test. But if she opens the door, she must provide a sample. Is it official that the officer didn't identify herself or just Markéta's version?
Top tennis player not withdrawing from a 1000 ATP event just because his rivals did being controversial is so funny to me like how does that happen 🤣🤣🤣 fandoms are truly nuts
