Jannik Sinner beat Novak Djokovic in his second-round bout of the ATP Finals. Trolling is a part of any sport, and the Djoker was not exempt from it. After he lost his bout, it was Sinner who advanced him to the semifinal of the tournament. Sinner won his bout, which helped Djokovic move on. The internet made meme after meme to show his state of mind after his loss and portrayed him as one of his fans.

The Italian youngster has a fanbase that has been growing since he made his debut in the ATP Tour. His group of fans is dedicated like no other, and now they have become a big part of the player’s atmosphere.

Novak Djokovic turned into Jannik Sinner fan

Novak Djokovic assured his place as the year-end number 1 after he won his first-round bout. However, he could not go into the semifinal only through his efforts. He met Sinner in the second round and found himself beaten after three sets. He made up for it in his third-round victory. However, he dropped one set, which meant he had to rely on Sinner to move ahead. With Sinner’s win against Holger Rune, the Djoker managed to move on.

A recent post on the r/tennis subreddit turned him into one of the Carota Boys, the dedicated fan base of Sinner. The user shared a selfie of Sinner with four of the Carota Boys. However, the face of the two boys on the front was cropped, and they had become Djokovic and his coach Goran Ivanišević. If Rune had won his bout, he and Sinner would be advancing.

The Djoker and his coach became his fans. The meme also shows other Carota Boys, which confused some fans in the post. The question remains in the minds of many: who are the Carota Boys?

Sinner’s dedicated fans

The 22-year-old Italian player has a fanbase like one never seen before. The Carota Boys are six close friends from Revello, Cuneo. They are Francesco Gaboardi, Alessandro Dedominici, Alberto Mondino, Lorenzo Ferrato, and Gianluca Bertorello, and Enrico. They call themselves the ‘Carrot Boys’ because of Sinner’s hair color and to pay ode to the time he ate a carrot mid-match.
