Sinner is the winner: “Today, I saw an Italian winning Wimbledon,” Panatta said
In a flattened world, minimal style, quiet strength, and kindness still shine
Allow us a little Italian pride today: Jannik Sinner has become the first Italian man to win Wimbledon. As Adriano Panatta said, “Today, I saw an Italian winning Wimbledon.”
Beyond the tennis, Wimbledon remains a stage where elegance reigns—more haute couture than street style. Thankfully, it’s not the circus we often witness during fashion weeks. Yes—there’s still room for elegance. Unbelievable!
And that brings us to Sinner’s style—which is our perspective. But it’s something deeper than fashion’s recent fascination with tennis. Today, fashion brands compete to secure tennis players as brand ambassadors.
Jannik Sinner is the kind of young man you don’t often see these days: clean, understated, refreshingly simple. No gimmicks, no excess, no tattoos. But what truly stands out is his kindness and humility—his respectful nature, both on and off the court. From culture to manners to image—which are all deeply interconnected—he represents a rare breed. A species, one might say, on the verge of extinction.
That’s what we admire: the courage to be different. The courage to be oneself.
In a flattened world, minimal style, quiet strength, and kindness still shine.
So, thank you, Jannik Sinner.
First, for giving Italy something to celebrate beyond football, football, and yet more football—a world that doesn’t always reflect the best of us.
Thank you for the emotions you spark, and for your willingness to learn from your mistakes—because that, too, is a life lesson.
And thank you for yesterday’s historic win.
But most of all, thank you for being a role model for younger generations.
You show us that elegance can live outside the mainstream.
That it can come from simply being true to yourself—even if that means defying expectations.
That values matter.
That kindness wins.
