«Great»: Giorgia Meloni welcomes Jannik Sinner with a smile at Palazzo Chigi, hugs him and makes him review the final point that led him to victory at the Australian Open.

On a screen in the tapestry room the images of the decisive point scroll: «I wanted to show you something again – says the Prime Minister who addresses the South Tyrolean tennis player by first name – because at that point we were all like that, motionless...».

"It's nicer to experience it in that moment, but it's also nice to see it again," replies the champion, who then poses with the premier in two photos: in the first with the Australian Open cup, in the second the two hold out the tricolor flag. To seal the meeting, a hug.

Meloni, posting the video on social media, writes: «The Italy we like: capable of believing in itself and reacting to difficult challenges. And to win. Thank you for the example you set, Jannik, to sports lovers, to our young people and to all of Italy."
