At the event venue, a giant billboard showcased the players in their trailer outfits. Interestingly, Sinner noticed a comical detail that set him apart from his peers.

The Only Sweaty Player on the Billboard

In an interview with DAZN after winning the event, Jannik Sinner pointed out that he was the only player in the billboard photo who appeared sweaty. He attributed this to the extreme heat during the trailer filming, which took place just before Wimbledon.

“If you watch the details, I’m the only one who is sweating, and I’ll tell you the story. We filmed it before Wimbledon, and it was so hot. As you can see, I was sweating all the time,” Sinner shared.

He further explained how a fan was placed in front of his face, blowing his hair up during the shoot:

“The hair went up like this because there was a fan straight in my face. It was exhausting but also so much fun. It was quite an experience.”
