It’s raining on the Internazionali BNL d’Italia tennis. Around 2pm, a downpour hit the playing fields pcausing a general stampede towards stands and covered areas. The reverse lasted about 15 minutes, during which the bleachers of the training field were not emptied: dozens of Jannik Sinner fans they remained immobile in the rain so as not to lose their place for the training session scheduled for 4pm.
“We came from Bolzano for him, we resist”, declared one South Tyrolean fan while waiting the Italian champion, expected on the pitch in tandem with Flavio Cobolli.
The “shake” seemed not to have compromised the day’s program given the short duration, but after another quarter of an hour and a water bomb spilled on the Foro Italico which forced everyone to seek shelter. In reality, some undaunted fans remained in their seats waiting see Sinner in training (scheduled) from 4pm to 5.30pm with Flavio Cobolli, careless today of the rain as yesterday they had been in the hot sun. Power of tennis.
