Yannick Sinner does not like social networks and urges the younger generation not to believe everything posted there

Having just won the Australian Open (he came back from 0-2 in sets in the final with Daniil Medvedev and outlasted Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals), the Italian spoke openly about what he likes to do at the age of 22. old.

Yannick considers himself a normal young guy who likes to play computer games and watch TV series.

The sinner surprises (as well as people of his generation) when he declares that he does not like social networks. He uses them less and less and disagrees with them because they too often send the wrong message to those who use them.

What’s more, the Melbourne champion is also talking about success, and he really hopes that it can’t change him.

“I don’t like social media, I tell kids to be very careful. A person can be sad but post a happy photo: they are already sending the wrong message.

It happens that you write something that you don’t even think about. I try to use social media as little as possible, even if sometimes I have to check things in person.

I live very well even without social networks, I like to watch TV series” – Yannik Grishnyk.

How much can success change you?

“People change, but the basic qualities remain. If a person is humble and continues to work, success becomes positive and will not change you.

I hope I am not wrong, but I am sure that I will always remain the same man. I’m a simple guy, I’m 22 years old and I like to play on the computer like everyone else. I think they really appreciate that in me,” he added Sinner.
