Jannik Sinner not publicly congratulating Jasmine Paolini for winning Dubai garners questions from tennis fans: "Is it the fact she's a woman"

Jannik
Sinner did not publicly congratulate his compatriot Jasmine Paolini on her
title at the WTA 1000 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, which divided fans.
The 28-year-old Italian secured the biggest title of her career by coming back
from a set down to defeat Anna Kalinskaya 4-6, 7-5, 7-5 on Saturday, February
24.
Few would
have predicted Paolini as the tournament champion, as she entered as the world
No. 26 and was not among the seeded players. The last Italian to win a WTA 1000
was Camila Giorgi at the 2021 Canadian Open (victory over Karolina Pliskova
6-3, 7-5).
Congratulations
poured in from WTA and ATP players, including prominent male compatriots:
Matteo Berrettini, Lorenzo Musetti, Lorenzo Sonego, and Fabio Fognini.
However, it
caught the attention of some fans that the 2024 Australian Open champion Jannik
Sinner did not extend his greetings, at least on social media. While some
comments criticized the world No. 3, others speculated that he might have
congratulated her privately:
"Maybe
Jannik texted her? Just because you don't see it online doesn't mean he didn't
do his own congrats. Stop looking for trouble & go sit down," some fan
wrote.
Even one
fan questioned Sinner and commented that the young star's silence could be
related to his gender or ethnicity:
"Is it
the fact that she's a woman, or that she's Ghanaian-Polish? Maybe the golden
boy is just not a very nice person, contrary to all the desperate PR his agents
put out?," their tweet read.

Nevertheless,
Sinner has publicly acknowledged that he prefers to stay away from social
media. Here you can find other fan comments that had divided opinions regarding
Sinner:
Is it the fact that she’s a woman, or that she’s Ghanaian-Polish? Maybe the golden boy is just not a very nice person, contrary to all the desperate PR his agents put out?
In Italy, if you really care about a person, you don’t congratulate her via a social media post. You take the phone and call her, or send her a private text. I’m sure Jannik did that. By the way, Jasmine is Italian (her father is Italian, her mother is Ghanaian-Polish).
I honestly think his lack of response is not intentional. Of all the current players, I find Jannick Sinner to be the most introverted. That or his personality hasn’t really developed yet. Is it a sense of awkwardness or something else?
Is it now mandatory for players to congratulate their compatriots on social media? Leave the guy alone. For all you know he sent her flowers.
There is a real life outside of social media. You know it?
I have a secret theory that it’s because of her skin complexion
he has never congratulated anyone on his social media, he only reposts and comments stuff about him, hope it helps!
Not everyone lives on social media, you know.

mandoist02-05-2024 - Unfortunately the WTA & ITF Fat-Cats are comfortable lounging in their elite surroundings and do not hear anything they do not wish to hear.
