The gesture has gone viral across Italian and international media, with social media flooded with messages praising the young tennis star’s humility and generosity. Parents, teachers, and even fans around the world have expressed their admiration for Sinner’s thoughtfulness, calling it a lesson in compassion that goes beyond sports.
