During the rain interruption of the match, the Italian tennis player had held the umbrella for the ball girl, showing great gallantry and manners. Sinner holds the umbrella for the ball girl under the rain: the gesture that shames Alcaraz (who instead gets covered). The ball girl tells about the conversation with Sinner. The gesture of Jannik had gone viral on the web and many had praised his action towards the girl. The ball girl, Caroline, spoke to Sky Sport's microphones, recounting the conversation with Sinner during those moments of waiting, under the rain: 'I had the great opportunity to stand next to Sinner during the match. It was raining and I was holding the umbrella for him; so he asked me to sit next to him and he held the umbrella. We started talking, he asked me how long I had been playing tennis and which matches I had seen from the field. He also asked me questions about my job as a ball girl, about the position to keep on the field and so I explained everything. Being next to Jannik was very nice, I adore him, he is one of my favorite tennis players. I am very lucky to have met him and to have talked to him.'
