Sinner ‘plays’ for Real Madrid, at the Bernabeu with two players. And there is a (sensational) return

Sinner in fact found himself ‘training’ on a pitch built inside the Bernabeu stadium, home of Real Madrid, in the company of some old and new friends. Next to him, playing an unimaginable double, was Jude Bellingham, Los Blancos midfielder, while on the other side of the net was Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and none other than Rafa Nadal, former legendary Spanish tennis player and great Real Madrid fan.

The match was refereed by the host Florentino Perez, president of the Spanish team, sitting on the chair umpire’s seat. Perez brought Sinner a Real Madrid shirt as a gift, before a group photo destined to remain in the history of the tournament.

At the end of the match, Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek was also here, while Nadal shared some photos on his Instagram profile: “Thank you Masters 1000 of Madrid and Real Madrid. It was very special to enjoy this unique view at the Bernabeu”.
