The beating heart of Italian tennis experienced an unforgettable moment a few hours before the Italian team won the 2025 Davis Cup. Jannik Sinner, icon of our sport, made a gesture that moved everyone, giving himself a special place in the history of this sport.
The atmosphere in the Italian locker room was full of tension, with everyone focused on the semi-finals of the Davis Cup. Then, without warning, Sinner entered the room with a sleek black box. The eyes locked on him, but what happened next left everyone breathless. He approached Flavio Cobolli and with a firm voice said: “Flavio, this is for you. Open it.”
Cobolli, visibly surprised, immediately opened the box, finding an object inside that no one expected. It wasn’t a Rolex watch, nor a brand new racket, but something much more personal. The young Italian tennis player began to cry, overwhelmed by emotion, and hugged Sinner, remaining still for a few seconds in an embrace that touched everyone’s hearts.
Inside the black box there was a Wilson Blade 98 racket, the same one that Jannik Sinner had used to win the 2024 Australian Open and the 2024 US Open. An extraordinary gesture that made it clear how strong the bond was between the two tennis players. The racket, which had accompanied Sinner in his greatest victories, would now be in Cobolli’s hands.
Sinner didn’t just give away his racket, he also left a special message engraved on the handle. With a metallic marker, he wrote: “For my little brother. Now it’s your turn to write the story.” This gesture made the gift even more significant, as if Jannik was passing the baton to Cobolli, inviting him to write his chapter in the history of tennis.
When the other members of the team, including Matteo Berrettini, Lorenzo Musetti and captain Filippo Volandri, witnessed the scene, the emotion was palpable. Some couldn’t hold back their tears, while others turned away, emotional, to hide their feelings. At that moment, the entire Italian team was united, not only for the victory, but also for the bond that united them like a true family.
What Sinner did goes beyond a simple gift between teammates. It is a gesture that reflects Jannik’s greatness not only as a tennis player, but also as a person. With this act of generosity, Sinner showed the whole world that in tennis, as in life, it is important to pass the baton, encourage young people and believe in the abilities of others.
As the Italian team celebrated their Davis Cup victory, Sinner’s gesture became a symbol of what it means to be a champion. Not just in the game, but in life. Cobolli, with Sinner’s racket in his hands, received a gift that will accompany him forever. A gift that, perhaps, one day will push him to write his own story, as Sinner hoped.
In a world where competition is fierce, Jannik Sinner has shown that there is always room for solidarity and brotherly love. This is the true spirit of tennis, and of life.
