Lily, an 18 -year -old young woman, was serving like every day in her small suburban coffee shop, unaware of the fact that that day would change her life forever. In fact, he did not know that the customer who was serving was not any patron, but one of the greatest talents of world tennis: Jannik Sinner.
Sinner, known for his extraordinary talent and his career that is taking off at impressive speed, is an example of how determination and hard work can transform a person’s life. But, beyond his victories on tennis courts, what surprised Lily was his humility and his ability to put himself in the shoes of others.
The young tennis player, despite having reached incredible peaks in his sport, has never forgotten the difficulties he faced during his childhood and adolescence.
