After almost two hours of waiting, the Danish Holger Rune and Russian Daniil Medvedev could emerge from Foro Italico’s Campo Centrale to play in the final of the Masters 1000 ATP in Rome, the first without Rafael Nadal and/or Novak Djokovic nineteen years later.
Among those who waited in order not to miss the resolution of the tournament, avoiding the rain at times, the Portuguese coach. Jose Mourinho.
This was not his first presence, he had already visited his friend Novak Djokovicfrom whom he took a souvenir since the Serbian tennis player signed an autograph on the cap worn by the Portuguese that day.
The AS Roma coach returned to the Forum this Sunday. At a near-full capacity, 10,000 fans, there was a clear majority in this group as there was a general roar when Mourinho’s image appeared on the stadium’s video scoreboard.
There seemed to be no sign of the crowd from eternal rivals, Lazio. There was thunderous applause Mourinho when he appeared on the big screen at the break of a match Medvedev was leading 4-3, without a service break.
Roma’s qualification for the Europa League final made Mourinho’s visit calmer, and more grateful.
