Pope Francis congratulates Jannik Sinner for his historic title at the Australian Open. The Supreme Pontiff took advantage of the visit of authorities from the Royal Tennis Club of Barcelona to make reference to the Italian's title in Melbourne.
In 2013 he had received Juan Martín Del Potro and in 2015 the authorities of the Italian Federation of this sport. Francisco is not only a soccer fan and a fan of San Lorenzo, but he enjoys sports in general. He was also emphatic in his reflection on fair play: "How ugly and sterile is the victory that is obtained by cheating and deceiving others!"
