Tennis Masters 1000 Toronto
TO Toronto high hopes are placed on Italian tennis. Yannick Sinner, fresh out of the Wimbledon semi-finals, wants to be the protagonist immediately. The draw is not the easiest, but the summer tournaments give everyone a chance. On the field too musetti AND Berrettini, as well as Sonego and Arnaldi, who qualified. Yannick, Lorenzo and Matteo are three tennis stars, and on the eve of the tournament they put on a racing suit and made a special challenge, again on the tennis court, but without rackets and balls.
Sinner and Berrettini could challenge each other in the second round, they have never challenged each other at the ATP level yet. Meanwhile, these two, along with Musetti, were chosen by the organizers for a specific event, something new for them and for tennis, which only the three of them could do. Because the topic was: “Italian Job”, this is the name of a wonderful film of the late 60s with the great Michael Caine, one of the 40 best films of all time according to experts. The film was then revived by Hollywood with a remake in 2003 (with Wahlberg, Charlize Theron and Norton). In this film, cars play a crucial role.
And it goes without saying that only three Italians could interpret those scenes in which three tennis players one red jumpsuit, one white and the other obviously green, to recreate the tricolor. No crazy driving races, but a challenge with radio-controlled cars on a tennis court, one of the training ones. And to make the task more intriguing, a path was created, a kind of scheme. From the videos that have appeared on the net, we can see the fun of the three tennis players who threw each other a serious challenge.
All three attempted to cross the finish line first, eventually winning by Berrettini, who exploited an error in the final by a better-started Sinner. The memes that followed this challenge are endless, there are even those who created a video with three tennis players in Formula 1a montage under the acronym that accompanies pilots, real ones, before GPs.
It goes without saying that there is now hope that the Italian Job in Toronto, one of the three blues – between Sinner, Berrettini and Musetti – is in danger of making it on the field. It would be a real hit. In Canada 1000 points for the winner, 600 for those who reach the final. A wonderful booty that everyone will try to snatch.
