Jannik Sinner, a proud Italian, was watching his country play against Venezuela in a soccer match on March 21st. Taking a break from tennis, Sinner enjoyed the soccer match from the stands. But it was the poor player’s hairdo that dominated the news.
Jannik Sinner was supposed to play his Round 2 opening match of Miami Open 2024 against Andrea Vavassori. But all men’s matches are suspended until further notice due to heavy rains; and Sinner used it to his advantage to go and watch Italy play.
Italy are here in Miami for a 3-day camp, playing friendly matches against Venezuela and Ecuador. The match was taking place in Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is the home of Miami CF of Major League Soccer. where World Cup winner Lionel Messi currently plays.
As Sinner was watching that match from the stands, his head full of hair was getting all frizzy on an overcast day in Florida. He traveled 17.6 miles from Hard Rock Stadium, Miami gardens to Chase Stadium, which takes an average of 22 minutes by road.
