‘Will Not Meet a Nicer Guy Than Jannik Sinner’- Serena Williams’ Ex-coach Backs Australian Open Champ Amid Raging Controversy Over His Political Stance

Jannik Sinner outperformed himself in the Australian Open this year. The world congratulated the 22-year-old as he lapped up his victory in the tournament. He also met up with the Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The two watched the championship point, and Meloni embraced Sinner and congratulated him on his victory. As the gesture sparked outrage, Serena Williams’ former coach praised Sinner and asked everyone to keep their political thoughts out of this.

Meloni has often been at the center of some controversial statements. The outrage also consumed Sinner, as many criticized him on social media. But, the former coach of Serena Williams came to his defense.

The Prime minister of Italy shared a video where she met the Australian Open champion and hugged him. The act and the meet itself caused much backlash for Sinner as Meloni has drawn much disdain from the Italian public for policies in the last few years. As the bashing of Sinner continued, Rennae Stubbs, the former coach of Serena Williams, came to his rescue.

As a user commented about the hugging between the two being out of their understanding, Stubbs said, “You will not meet a nicer guy than Jannik Sinner! Whatever your politics or his, this guy is a guy all Italians should be proud of.”

Due to the backlash, Jannik Sinner will find it difficult to enjoy his achievements on his social media page. However, while he is being bashed by the Italian public, he is being uplifted by the ones close to him as they celebrate his victory with him.
