The core of the sixth edition of the Mondo Eco festival concludes on December 5th at 6:00 PM with Riccardo Crivelli, journalist for La Gazzetta dello Sport, and his talk “Jannik Sinner. The talent that is changing the history of tennis” (Diarkos, 2025). The event, presented by Roberto Pintor, will be hosted at a unique location, the perfect setting to showcase the “Sinner phenomenon”: the Monte Urpinu Tennis Club in Cagliari.Born in the Puster Valley, on the border with Austria, Jannik Sinner embarked on an extraordinary journey that took him from the Alpine mountains to the pinnacle of world tennis. Crivelli’s book tells his story, one of passion, determination, and constant growth. From a young age, Jannik had to choose between his love of skiing and his talent for tennis. At thirteen, picking up a racket, he embarked on a journey that would take him far from home, a step that would mark the beginning of his rise to greatness, embracing a rigorous philosophy of life: education, humility, and a work ethic instilled in him by his family. His victories in the most important tournaments, his four Grand Slam titles, cemented his name in the history of sport. Crivelli not only celebrates the triumphs of a champion, but invites us to discover his essence, that of a boy who, with quiet talent and unwavering dedication, is destined to remain on the world tennis stage for years, ready to become an icon, an example of how hard work and perseverance can turn a dream into reality.
