Fans did not hesitate to comment:“The sweetest point of the tournament!”, “Ludovico MVP of the Match!”e“Tennis and family: perfect combo!”.
Lorenzo, excited and smiling, commented on:“Having my son here with me is special. Tennis is important, but the family is everything. I did not expect me to be looking for me during the interview!”
The moment of tenderness has also had a positive impact on the public image of the young Tennist Carrarino. Not only has it demonstrated evident sporting growth, but also a human and paternal side that has broken through the hearts of Italians and beyond.
