“Nole, I hope to reach your level. You are an inspiration ». The summary does it Stefanos Tsitsipas telling the victory Novak Djokovic which instead tells that of the Internazionali d’Italia. «Thanks Rome, thanks Italy, thanks to all those who worked for the organization of this tournament». The Serbian is Roma champion for the sixth time by beating in the final the Greek Tsitsipas (6-0 7-6 in an hour and 38 ‘), champion of another of the Masters 1000 of the season, that of Monte Carlo.
We must start from Monte Carlo where Novak Djokovic was eliminated in the first match to tell the superiority of the Serbian: a superiority that comes from talent, but above all from training. 2022 didn’t start like Nole’s year. Australia told him no by sending him home after a long controversy because he was not vaccinated. And here Nadal won, overtaking Djokovic and Federer for the number of Grand Slam tournaments won. In the US he did not have the green light to play.
Another would be down, not Nole who said he never thought he would never win a tournament again. Out immediately in Montecarlo, defeated by Alcaraz in Madrid, winner in Rome with the 1001 victory at Atp level and ready for Roland Garros. “In the last two weeks my level of form has risen: it’s nice to arrive at Roland Garros with a title”.
Djokovic’s title comes after a perfect Roman week. Under the sun of the Foro Italico (between fainting and tanning) 230,277 appearances, record of the tournament with 16 million euros in receipts and parties in the evening like that of Sky.
Not only for the men’s tournament, but also for the women’s one and for the double with the couple who have become phenomenal on social media and among fans. “El Peque” and “Long John”, the Small and the Long, Diego Schwartzman and John Isner, the Argentine who is not one meter and 70 and the American who exceeds two meters. Defeated in the final, they became #isnerman and we are now waiting for them at all tournaments.
