The Italian tennis player Jannick Sinner established himself in Miami Masters 1000 and was personally congratulated by a representative of his country in the world: Laura Pausini.
The 49-year-old singer greeted the champion at the end of the match against the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrovwhich quickly ended at 6-3 and 6-1.
The Italians had their photo taken together and the video of their “book” went viral on social media because at a certain point it seems that Laura wants to give the 22-year-old a kiss and he avoids her.
Proud of the champion
Pausini shared a post with his photos from the final and congratulated the new winner: “Our champion, Jannik Sinner, once again led Italy to victory. Thanks to his talent, his training, his willpower and his character.”
“You are a great source of pride for all of us and an example for all young people. It was wonderful to be by your side on such an important day! And it is only the first of many appointments that await us together.“I will do everything I can to follow you!” she concluded.

Sinner marked an important milestone for his country: by beating Dimitrov he ousted the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz from number 2 in the ATP ranking and managed to be the first Italian to reach that position.

There were also those who laughed at Pausini’s attitude, visibly moved by the tennis player’s triumph: “The intense aunt that is not missing in every family”.
