Jannik Sinner's Potential Participation in Sanremo Festival Sparks Controversy

"If Jannik Sinner went to the Sanremo Festival it would be a disappointment. Everyone would go, but he is different and I speak against my own interests because Sinner at Sanremo would be a great promotion for us". This was said by the president of Fitp, Angelo Binaghi, on the sidelines of the 'Rapporto Sport 2023' event at the Foro Italico. Sinner at Sanremo 2024? Here's the clue: Jannik cancels the Marseille tournament (which starts on February 5). "Even Meloni told him he should go - Binaghi continues - but Sinner needs to be protected by everyone: from executives because he should not be instrumentalized, from journalists and also from Sanremo. I will stand in the front line if necessary. If we all want to write a different story together, we must protect him".
