Angelo Mangiante recalled the Wimbledon final on July 12, won by Jannik Sinner against Alexander Zverev, who was defeated by the Italian for the tenth consecutive time. He said he had the honor of interviewing Sinner after the victory and described the day as historic for Italian sports. Mangiante reported that Sinner announced, after consulting the doctors, that he needed a cycle of treatment for his knee and considered the 2026 season over. According to the journalist, the year had ended with 44 wins and three losses, one Slam—his fifth career Slam—and five Masters 1000 titles: Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid, and Rome. Sinner had been number one for 95 weeks, Mangiante wrote, adding that the break would give Zverev the opportunity to surpass him. Mangiante explained that the diagnosis, confirmed in four consultations and also by a knee expert seen in Lyon, Professor Bertrand Sommery-Cotet, was an extra-articular tendinopathy of the right knee, indicated as ITBS. He reported that the specialists did not consider surgery necessary and recommended rest, therapy, athletic reconditioning, and muscle strengthening, without haste. The goal, he wrote, was to fully recover and return at his best in 2027. The journalist noted that the break would mean six months without Sinner, for the first time, and deemed the decision to focus on a long-term career the most sensible. He also expressed confidence that upon return, the tennis player would come back even stronger. #Tennis #JannikSinner #Sportitaliano (translated)

Eleonora Aloise criticized the communication management of Jannik Sinner, arguing that three months without information was too long and that fans were only asking for a bit of transparency, not intimate details or medical records. She wrote that what was known had come from leaked videos, gossip newsletters, occasional sources, and geolocations of restaurants. Aloise also contested the relentless defenses of the tennis player and the rhetoric that he owed nothing to anyone. She recalled that, in her opinion, millions of fans made sacrifices to buy tickets and criticized the tournaments that asked for a last-minute announcement of a withdrawal. She defined Sinner as a public figure and a multimillion-dollar business, as well as an important figure for fans, and argued that justifying him on every issue was not doing him any favors. According to Aloise, communication had dulled every nuance and prevented the complexity of the person from being told. She wrote that injuries happened and that it wasn't necessary to keep them secret. She concluded by saying that fans would welcome Sinner with open arms upon his return, but perhaps with less naïveté. #sinner #tennis #comunicazione #trasparenza #tennis (translated)

Léo Lins contested Lula's statement that he had worked for 27 years in a factory. According to the author, Lula started working informally around the age of 12, had his first official job at 14, and, as a teenager, entered the metallurgy sector and took a mechanical lathe course at Senai, which lasted approximately three years. The author stated that Lula worked in various factories, lost his little finger in an accident at 18, and from around 20 to 26, was a mechanical lathe operator at Indústrias Villares in the ABC region of São Paulo. At 26, he allegedly left the factory to work full-time at the metalworkers' union. Based on this trajectory, the author calculated that Lula would have accumulated about 14 to 15 years of work before dedicating himself fully to union activities, of which 11 to 12 were related to metallurgy. He asserted that even when adding other periods, the total would not reach half of the 27 years mentioned by Lula on Flow and called him a liar. #Trabalho #Metalurgia #HistóriaTrabalhista (translated)
