Jannik Sinner triumphed once again at the Australian Open, successfully defending his title won last year. In this scenario, the world number 1 wanted to take advantage of this great spotlight to pay tribute to a historical athlete like Kobe Bryant. Today marks the 5th anniversary of the tragic helicopter accident that claimed the lives of the basketball player, his daughter, and seven others. And how was this tribute? Discreet, yet with great intention. The Italian, who is part of the Nike family, changed his sneakers after defeating Zverev to wear the Nike Air Force 1 Low Retro QS Bryant. A beautiful gesture that may have gone unnoticed, but it speaks volumes about the world number 1's character.
