As the 2023 Nitto ATP Finals draw near, the Carota Boys announced that they had a face-to-face meeting with their favorite tennis star, Jannik Sinner, in Turin.
Sinner had made his official debut at the season-ending championships in 2021 as an alternate, but his joyful group of superfans costumed out as carrots would have made his debut even more memorable.
These fans have been cheering for Sinner all over the world because of his red hair and drive to eat carrot sticks while watching games.
Sinner was recently questioned in an interview regarding this fan club and how it is even more unique than all of the fans. Sinner responded while smiling: “They are even more famous than I am, honestly. I got to know them a couple of days ago. It was a great meeting. I don’t know them well at the moment. I got their names but I got a little confused. They have a very good-looking costume with the carota. It’s great to have a dedicated fan club. It’s growing so I am happy for them.”
Sinner expressed his gratitude for having this fan club in his speech. He was smiling the entire time he spoke of them, indicating how pleased it made him as well.
