“I was very upset because I couldn't come to the court,” Sinner shared after beating Cerundolo and reaching the quarter-finals of the Rome Masters , a Masters 1000 tournament.

“In the three months I can’t go to watch sport , I will enjoy it even more,” he said. The world number one will enjoy the moment when his beloved Milan play Bologna at the Olimpico.

Sinner, with his beaming smile, will be the most famous Milan fan present at the Olimpico. In fact, the Rossoneri consider him as the team's 12th player.

Jannik wanted to enjoy the atmosphere of a football final, relaxing before he himself entered the quarter-finals of the Rome Masters.

The official relationship between Milan and Sinner began in December 2021, when he came to meet the team at the Milanello training center, bringing a racket as a gift.

Milan responded with a red and black shirt with the number 10. This was the shirt that a few months later the Rossoneri won the Serie A championship.

Ibrahimovic was a player at the time. Jannik stopped to talk to Ibra, to Paolo Maldini (former technical director) and other players.

Fun fact: during the 2022 Rome Masters, which coincided with Milan winning the Scudetto, Sinner won a derby against Inter fan Fabio Fognini. In front of the camera, he wrote “Forza Milan”.

A few days ago, Milan won against Bologna in Serie A, with Pulisic and Santi Gimenez marking the team's fourth consecutive victory.

Coach Sergio Conceicao started his Milan adventure with the Italian Super Cup. Now he wants to lift the Coppa Italia.

A Champions League ticket, or even a top-six finish in Serie A, is very fragile. Therefore, the Coppa Italia is more than a consolation prize: it guarantees Milan a direct ticket to the group stage of the 2025/26 Europa League.

Victory will give Conceicao the opportunity to continue his work, and build a new team for himself in the summer transfer window.

There is not much difference at Olimpic di Roma, but with the value of some stars and the Sinner spirit, Milan is slightly better in terms of lifting the trophy.
