A statement by Vit Kopriva sparked a storm among Italian fans when he declared: “Jannik Sinner is only second, after Carlos, since he retired before the Cincinnati final.” Kopriva’s words ignited the ire of Italian fans, who saw his statement as a direct attack on their favorite, Jannik Sinner.

Kopriva, a tennis player who has attracted attention primarily for his on-court challenges, launched his criticism after Sinner’s withdrawal from the Cincinnati Open final, an event that saw Carlos Alcaraz emerge as the undisputed star. Kopriva’s statement immediately divided fans and sparked a strong reaction in Italy.

However, what no one expected was Sinner’s lightning-fast response. When he learned of Kopriva’s statement, the Italian tennis player shocked his fans with a concise and direct response that silenced any controversy. “I have decided to retire,” Sinner said in four simple words, “I have made a choice.”

Sinner’s response demonstrated a disarming calm and firmness that refuted those who had questioned him. Italian fans, who had initially been enraged by Kopriva’s statement, applauded Sinner not only for his mature response but also for his decisive stance.

Rather than give in to the provocation, Sinner chose to act with class and precision, demonstrating that he’s not only a champion on the court, but also off it, where respect and maturity are equally important. His statement immediately silenced Kopriva, who had nothing else to add.

Jannik Sinner’s gesture won the hearts of his fans, who couldn’t help but praise him for his integrity and fighting spirit. Despite the criticism, Sinner once again proved himself to be the best, not only in tennis, but also in handling provocations with elegance.

With this response, Jannik Sinner sent a clear message to everyone: a true champion is not measured only by success on the pitch, but also by mental strength and the ability to respond firmly to difficulties and criticism.
