“Respecting Italians like us” Jasmine Paolini spoke to defend Jannik Sinner, when he saw that he was labeled as a “loser” and rejected by his sponsors after the defeat at the US Open, he has no longer managed to stay. “I want to be clear, we Italians have a great sense of pride, so don’t insult and not defame him. He gave his best.” What shocked the fans was that he used 10 words to warn anyone who dares to touch Sinner or other Italian tennis players.
Jasmine Paolini broke the silence and raised his voice in defense of Jannik Sinner, when he saw that his Italian colleague was unjustly labeled as a “failed” and even abandoned by his sponsors after his defeat at the US Open. Paolini, visibly excited, spoke with passion and anger, underlining the incredible contempt and false accusations that Sinner had received.
“I want to be clear. We Italians have a huge sense of pride, and we cannot tolerate that someone insults or disseminates one of our athletes who gave the best. Jannik has fought hard in every single match and does not deserve this treatment,” said Paolini, expressing all his frustration in the face of bad advertising and hard words that were addressed to the young Italian tennis player.
Paolini added: “It is not acceptable that someone allows themselves to treat Jannik in this way. We, like Italians, must support and respect him. He is an example of determination, and I will not allow that it is destroyed by unjust judgments.”
With firmness, Paolini also launched a warning with direct words: “Anyone who touches Sinner or other Italian tennis players, know that we will not remain in silence. We Italians are united, and we are ready to defend our athletes.”
His emotional outburst not only showed his commitment to Sinner, but also raised a strong wave of support between the Italian fans and colleagues. Paolini’s message has resonated throughout the country, starting a solidarity campaign against Sinner and other Italian sportsmen.
The accident meant that many stopped reflecting on how our athletes are treated globally. Paolini has made it clear that Italy will never allow its champions to be treated with contempt, and that no insult or offense will be tolerated.
At a time when the world of sport is increasingly influenced by social media and external opinions, Paolini’s appeal was a strong call to the need for respect and mutual support, especially when it comes to defending the integrity of our athletes.
Jannik Sinner, who continues to earn compliance with his colleagues, now also has the support of one of the most powerful voices of Italian tennis, Jasmine Paolini.
